Settings
Selected odds by:
Brother to 4 winners and stepped up on hurdling debut when landing 4-runner event at Hereford 48 days ago. This looks a bit stronger so more will be needed under a penalty.
|
Arrigo gelding. Dam, ran once on Flat in France, half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler (2¼m winner) Nan's Catch. Wears hood for debut and needs a market check for good yard.
|
Made an encouraging start to career when 6 lengths second of 8 to Rocheval in a bumper at Aintree (17f, heavy) on debut 30 days ago. Could build on that now hurdling.
|
Showed a bit before getting tired and falling last in juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f) on debut 33 days ago. May do better.
|
Looked a good prospect when impressive winner of 8-runner bumper at Aintree (17f, heavy) on debut last month, passing the line with gusto. Better to come and of major interest on hurdle bow.
|
Yeats filly who has shown nothing both starts to date.

Forecasts
Rocheval (4/6), I Wish You (5/1), La Quarite (13/2), Summer Night City (8/1), Copernic Du Mazet (12/1), Vinnie O'Neil (25/1), Tiny Angel (125/1)
It was highly encouraging that ROCHEVAL was able to make a winning start in style in a 17f course bumper last month considering he's bred to need time and distance, so he's a straightforward choice to follow up on this switch to hurdling. I Wish You is fancied to chase home his stablemate once again.
