3/1

2-2 in France, namely a maiden on the Flat at Dieppe in August and a juvenile at Fontainebleau (17.5f, heavy; ridden by David Maxwell) last month. Could be useful.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

4/5

Has joined Paul Nicholls since winning a newcomers hurdler at Compiegne in October. Very interesting recruit for his top stable and probably the one to beat.

Galactic Jack^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Anthony Charlton

100/1

Useful on Flat for Andrew Balding but no impact in pair of juvenile hurdles in recent months and fared no better back on AW Flat at Southwell 15 days ago.

Form: P7

Kado De Joie²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| BF

4/1

€105,000 purchaser after finishing fourth (promoted to third) in a French bumper in May. Couldn't justify favouritism but still made a promising start over hurdles when second of 8 in juvenile at Doncaster 4 weeks ago. Can be expected to improve.

Form: 32

Roaring Legend^t¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: O Murphy

9/1

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m) for James Ferguson. Picked up for 90,000 gns in October. Minus the cheekpieces he wore for both Flat wins. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Form:

Yellow Star²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore

80/1

Fairly useful form at best on the Flat for Richard Hannon. Bought for 22,000 gns in October. Stable has recent Finale winner Salver to compare him to so a market move would look significant.

Kalif Du Berlais (4/5), All In You (3/1), Kado De Joie (4/1), Roaring Legend (9/1), Yellow Star (80/1), Galactic Jack (100/1)

KALIF DU BERLAIS gets the nod to make a winning start for Paul Nicholls, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Doncaster runner-up Kado de Joie looks the chief threat ahead of All In You, whose French stable tasted success here on Boxing Day.
