Diablo De Rouhet³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 144

1/1

2-4 over fences. Reverted to hurdles last time out, but that did not prevent further success. Acts on heavy, and this improving gelding can again go well back over fences.

Form: 24-1211

Highest Sun²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 142

5/6

Useful handicap hurdler who stepped up on that form when switched to chasing at Newbury last month. Was a bit too keen at Ascot last time, but if more use can be made of him he has obvious claims in receipt of weight.

Form: 210-332

Forecasts

Highest Sun (5/6), Diablo De Rouhet (1/1)

Never easy to be dogmatic about these matches. Both horses have scope for further improvement, but in receipt of 10lb, HIGHEST SUN should be able to take the measure of Diablo De Rouhet.
