4/11
C&D winner and an excellent effort when finishing second of 24 beaten 4½L in the Grade 3 Betfair hurdle at Newbury in February. Ran below par in the County hurdle at the Cheltenham festival but can put the record straight here.

4/1
Fairly solid and consistent in the run up to the end of the year before running well in the County hurdle at the Cheltenham festival but has work to do with Bleu Et Rouge.

20/1
C&D winner in December when beating 14 rivals 6L before suffering a 37L defeat when upped to Grade 2 level at Punchestown. Looks opposable.

8/1
C&D winner but badly out of sorts in three starts since December. Could well appreciate the small field here but still looks up against.

Looked over-whelmed on debut in August whe beaten 172L at Kilbeggan for trainer Donald Chashman. Unlikely to go any better on stable debut.

Course winner who has not been seen for a year when finishing 54L behind Showem Silver in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle. Tough ask on return for the veteran.

Forecasts

Bleu Et Rouge (4/11), Brelade (4/1), Flaxen Flare (8/1), Prospectus (10/1), Dr Mikey (20/1), Sonny B (33/1), Run James Run (100/1)

Verdict

Dr Mikey could take the field along here with Brelade and Sonny B in behind in the initial stages of the contest. The race could revolve round the well-being of BLUE ET ROUGE who was well beaten in the County hurdle at the Cheltenham festival but is clearly better than his rivals here. Brelade and Flaxen Flare - who will appreciate the small field - can battle for the minor honours.
  1. Bleu Et Rouge
  2. Brelade
  3. Flaxen Flare
