1/5

Leading novice hurdler of 2021/22 campaign and a smart novice chaser last term. Landed the odds back hurdling at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and stiff task in the Stayers' Hurdle 17 days ago. Hard to oppose back at 2m.

Forecasts

Sir Gerhard (1/5), Call Me Lyreen (11/2), Sempo (12/1), Doyen Ta Win (12/1), Clarens (14/1), Maidenstreetprince (16/1), Varna Gold (100/1)

The classy SIR GERHARD sets a clear standard back down markedly in trip and is hard to get away from. Call Me Lyreen is the danger.
