50/1

14 race maiden including in two outings over hurdles. Beaten 64L when third over 2m3f at Towcester (soft) last time out and others make more appeal.

Trained by Andre Fabre on the Flat in France and ran well to finish runner-up over an extended 1m7f at Wincanton (heavy) on debut for this yard earlier this month. Likely to run well again today.

Bumper winner at Warwick (soft) in March and put in his best performance over hurdles when finishing runner-up at Ludlow (2m, soft) last month. Doubtful runner today.

Thames Knight²¹

100/1

Decent handicapper on the Flat but struggled so far over hurdles and best Flat form came on ground significantly quicker than is forecast today.

Forecasts

Le Musee (5/4), Ar Mest (9/4), Lost History (3/1), Shivermetimbers (4/1), Alltimegold (25/1), Corzeam (50/1), Hier Encore (50/1), Thames Knight (100/1)

LE MUSEE ran well to finish runner-up on his debut in this sphere and the son of Galileo and half-brother to a couple of useful performers on the Flat can make it second time lucky over hurdles by defeating the Gary Moore-trained Ar Mest here. The selection showed a liking for soft ground last time out and can get the better of his more experienced rival today with Lost HIstory capable of finishing third.
