Selling hurdle winner who has run with credit on all outings for this stable, winning on second chase start at Doncaster 2 years ago. Not seen since but returns on a good mark assuming all is well.

Un Prophete¹¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Ned Fox⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 114

13/8

Several good placed efforts last term and was set to win this (off this mark) when coming down 2 out 12 months ago. Not so good next 3 starts, including on return, but no surprise if he bounced back.

7/1

Twice a winner here last season but he ended the campaign below form and went backwards from his reappearance last 2 starts. Moody sort with a bit to prove now.

Forecasts

Un Prophete (13/8), Uallrightharry (7/4), Cheque En Blanc (7/1), Abaya Du Mathan (8/1), Midnight Moss (8/1)

UN PROPHETE was around 12 lengths ahead when falling 2 out off this mark in this 12 months ago. Admittedly he hasn't been in the same form since, including at Aintree on his return in October, but it would come as no surprise if he bounced back with a bang with his yard flying. Uallrightharry has been running well for his new yard this season and can place again.
