Selected odds by:

Ball D'Arc³³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-1| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 132| D

7/2

Very smart at best in Ireland but not the force of old, well held all 3 starts for Peter Winks. Has changed yards again.

Form: 33/0560-

Frero Banbou²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 126

10/3

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France, winning over fences on his last couple of outings in 2019. Left yard debut/return well behind when third at Exeter and remains with potential.

Form: 4711/73

Destined To Shine^t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 126| C| D

5/1

Uttoxeter winner last season and better than ever on return when scoring there in October. Possibly found race coming too soon at Wetherby before let down by jumping at Ffos Las.

Form: 412-19U

Captain Moirette²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 125| CD

5/2

Third hurdle success when seeing off 4 rivals in 19f handicap here 12 months ago. Shaped as if needing belated return at Carlisle 3 weeks ago and remains capable of better in this sphere.

Form: 8/3421-4

Pistol Park^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Ellison| OR: 117| D

10/1

Fairly useful winning chaser at best. Lightly raced in last couple of years but highlighted he still has something to offer when third on return at Ayr. Disappointed at Chepstow since, however.

Form: 13/PP-35

Equus Millar²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 117| D

17/2

Multiple hurdles winner who had little trouble in getting off mark on chase bow at Worcester in July 2019. Understandably in need of belated return at Wetherby but failed to better that at Exeter.

Form: 79/81-47

Forecasts

Captain Moirette (5/2), Frero Banbou (10/3), Ball D'Arc (7/2), Destined To Shine (5/1), Equus Millar (17/2), Pistol Park (10/1)

FRERO BANBOU left his yard debut/return well behind when third at Exeter, shaping better than the bare result, and it won't be long before he's winning for this stable. Captain Moirette remains with potential in this sphere judged on his hurdles form and is next best ahead of Destined To Shine.
