1/2

Won 15-runner newcomers' race at Auteuil before making the perfect start for new connections at Exeter, going clear in convincing style. Plenty to like about his chances.

Form: 1-1

16/1

Fairly useful Flat maiden who has been in form of late but this is a stiff assignment for his first go at hurdling.

Glorious Zoff³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: R M Power| T: G Elliott| BF| D

10/3

Looked a natural hurdler as he made a winning start at Sligo last month. Just second of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 37 days ago but could still do better.

Form: 12

Gold Desert^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 123| D

14/1

Maiden on the Flat but 2 from 3 over hurdles, showing a good attitude when scoring at Catterick 22 days ago. This stiffer track will suit but he needs to find improvement.

Form: 131

Mistersister^t1¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: C J Mann| OR: 130| D

16/1

Off the mark at the third attempt in juvenile hurdles in France but he'll need to improve on that if he's to make a serious impact on stable/British debut.

Form: 471

Forecasts

Monmiral (1/2), Glorious Zoff (10/3), Gold Desert (14/1), Cloud Thunder (16/1), Mistersister (16/1)

The unbeaten MONMIRAL was impressive on his British debut at Exeter and is fancied to maintain his 100% record at the likely expense of Glorious Zoff, who remains with potential despite meeting with defeat at Sedgefield recently. Mistersister is the pick of the remaining trio.
