8/11

Successful on his only start in points and looked a fine prospe when winning his 3 starts over hurdles, bagging the Grade 2 Rossington Main at Doncaster. Pulled up in Supreme Hurdle at Cheltenham on his final run but remains with considerable potential now going chasing. Most interesting.

Form: 1/111P-

Brookie^t²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 130

11/2

A fairly useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland who advanced his form when landing a pair of handicap hurdles for his current yard last winter. Not ruled out reverted to fences for his seasonal return.

Form: 41014P-

Classic Anthem¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: R T Dunne| T: J R Boyle| OR: 118| C

7/2

Expensive recruit from the Irish pointing field who scored over hurdles at Sandown (2m) in December. Not discredited when fourth in handicap at Southwell in May but this is no easy introduction to chasing.

Form: 3127-84

Kansas Du Berlais^h,t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West| OR: 114

13/2

A fairly useful hurdles winner who comes here on the back of a well-held fourth of 6 in novice at Ascot (12f) on Flat debut 37 days ago. Goes over fences now with plenty on his plate.

Form: 43622-3

Forecasts

Jeriko Du Reponet (8/11), Classic Anthem (7/2), Brookie (11/2), Kansas Du Berlais (13/2)

JERIKO DU REPONET brings considerable potential to the novice chasing ranks and is fancied to go in at the first time of asking before tackling better company. Brookie has experience on his side and appeals as the one to chase home Nicky Henderson's smart winning hurdler.
