2/1

Dual hurdles winner last season who resumed with a very good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 29 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut.

Form: 21619-2

Henri The Second²⁴⁶

5/4

Useful in bumpers and he quickly reached a similar level over hurdles last term, winning a Grade 2 here in December. Returns on the back of a wind op and rates an interesting chase prospect for last year's winning yard.

Form: P/2142P-

Le Patron³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 122

11/2

Fairly useful ex-French hurdles winner who looked a good prospect when easily going in at the first time of asking over fences in 4-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, good) 36 days ago. Player.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 121

6/1

Fair form when fourth at Hereford only start in bumpers for Paul Nicholls and he showed himself to be a fairly useful hurdler after, scoring at Kempton (2m5f) in February. Considered now starting out in this sphere.

Form: 4/212-

Forecasts

Henri The Second (5/4), Blow Your Wad (2/1), Le Patron (11/2), Game Winner (6/1), Rock My Way (13/2)

Lots of potential on show, not least from HENRI THE SECOND who showed himsefl to be a useful winning hurdler last term and is faniced to make a successful start in the sphere for last year's winning yard. Le Patron impressed when a wide-margin scorer at Fontwell and rates a big threat, with chasing debutants Blow Your Wad and Game Winner not discounted either,
