9/4

Has taken well to hurdling, winning at Warwick in December and looking set to add to that when stumbling and falling at the last at Taunton 3 weeks later. Should go well.

Form: 231F

Illico Des Places^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: David Noonan| T: T Symonds

25/1

Bolted up on sole start in France but has proved too headstrong on both runs in Britain finishing a remote fourth at Ludlow latterly. Needs to settle better.

1/1

Fairly useful form over hurdles, winning in France last summer. Not disgraced when fifth in a decent race at Cheltenham on his British debut and likely has more to offer. Yard won this in 2018.

Fleurman¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

10/3

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 14.5f). Bought out of Ralph Beckett's yard for 130,000 gns in October. Interesting recruit to hurdles.

Form:

Johnny Boom¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: B Ellison

40/1

Fair 3-time Flat winner (stays 1¼m) for Richard Fahey but last in a Newcastle juvenile hurdle and Southwell AW handicap since joining this yard.

MESSAGE PERSONNEL is fancied to build on his opening run in Britain and land a second hurdle success, although Graystone could provide a big threat if he hasn't suffered any ill effects from a late tumble at Taunton. It'll also be interesting to see how much strength there is in the betting behind Olly Murphy's Fleurman.
