Smart on Flat, landing November Handicap last year. Opened hurdles account in Wincanton maiden prior to not being seen to best effect in Betfair Hurdle. Respected back in these calmer waters.

Fairly useful form over hurdles in France, off the mark in handicap at Compiegne (2¼m) in June. Shaped as if better for the run on his UK/yard debut at Carlisle last month and should be spot on now.

Useful on Flat in Germany (stays 1¾m). Easily best effort for this yard when third in 19.4f novice at Doncaster last week, but that's still a long way below his Flat form.

Hinted at temperament when beaten at odds on in a Worcester bumper on debut. Pulled up on Southwell hurdle bow next time and has since left Dan Skelton. Off 17 months.

Showed a bit in a Market Rasen bumper on debut but ran to a much higher level sent hurdling when third in introductory event at Newbury (16.3f) in December. Looks sure to improve (has had a wind op).

£32,000 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Chief of Panama. Needed experience when finishing midfield in a C&D bumper on debut in December.

Modest on Flat and ran to only a similar level in a pair of juvenile hurdles last summer. Sizeable step forward required to trouble the principals here.

Forecasts

On To Victory (10/11), Finistere (15/8), Raf Tavel (9/2), Ernesto (16/1), Pink Jazz (28/1), Voyburg (40/1), Aumerle (50/1), Felicissimus (125/1), Getafriend (300/1), Logan's Choice (400/1), Mr P (400/1)

Verdict

FINISTERE made a promising start to his hurdling career in a race that's worked out well at Newbury in December, so he gets the vote with improvement anticipated following a wind operation. Raf Travel boasts some tidy form in France and should be spot on now, with On To Victory also feared returning to calmer waters.
