11/1

Notched second win over hurdles at Punchestown last spring (also successful twice in this sphere) and good second returned to fences back from a break at Fairyhouse in October. Mistakes have proved costly since, including on stable debut 3 weeks ago.

11/8

Ended a losing sequence stretching back more than 3 years in 2m Ffos Las handicap hurdle in January. Cheekpieces on when below-par fifth in handicap chase there later that month but back on his game returned to timber when second at Fontwell.

2/1

In fine form last winter, rattling off quick-fire hat-trick, and he was just about better than ever when off the mark for the season at Wetherby last week. Penalty shouldn't prevent a very bold follow-up bid.

Form: 4-2F231

3/1

Improved on debut form when third of 11 in Ayr maiden hurdle (heavy) but well held on handicap bow there in February. Makes quick switch to chasing.

Forecasts

Thor De Cerisy (11/8), Gallic Geordie (2/1), One Mill Harbour (3/1), Fabrique En France (7/2), Marshalled (11/1)

GALLIC GEORDIE can boast an excellent strike rate over fences and a penalty for last week's cosy success at Wetherby looks well within his compass. One Mill Harbour is of some interest also on chase debut.
