Botox Has¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

6/4

Made a promising debut in a Listed race at Auteuil (1m7f) in France where he finished second of 13. Has since moved yards and is set for his opening appearance in the UK here where he is open to improvement. Leading contender.

Form: 2-

Harry The Norseman³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill

22/1

A maiden on the Flat after seven races. He was seventh of nine on his latest run at Southwell (1m4f) on the Flat. Does not make much of an appeal on his hurdles debut where he would need to improve on what he has shown on the Flat to be in the mix.

Form:

Prefontaine²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| BF

11/4

Modest winner on the Flat who was fancied to make a winning start to his hurdles career at Huntingdon (2m) two days ago, however, he unseated his rider at the second hurdle. Quick return here. One to consider.

Form: U

Ragnar¹¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

6/4

Recorded his second win on the Flat last time at Sandown (1m2f) where he got up by a nose. Set for his first appearance over hurdles here on what is his opening run for his new yard. His dam is a half-sister to a useful hurdler. Worth considering.

Forecasts

Botox Has (6/4), Ragnar (6/4), Prefontaine (11/4), Guardia Top (12/1), Harry The Norseman (22/1), Milldean Felix (50/1)

BOTOX HAS looked smart when he finished second in a Listed race at Auteuil and he should build up on that here which is likely to be enough for him to prevail on his UK debut. Prefontaine made an error at the second hurdle a couple of days ago which resulted in him ejecting his rider but this quick return suggests he is well and can put in a better performance in this race, while Ragnar is likely to perform well on his hurdles debut given his breeding.
