French recruit who has steadily progressed in maiden/novice hurdles, getting off mark on heavy at Ffos Las in February. This looks a decent chance to defy penalty if as good on this quicker surface.
|
Showed ability when fourth on bumper debut and similar story when third in C&D novice on hurdles bow in November. Off 12 weeks (had wind op), unseated first at Warwick since.
|
Half-brother to useful hurdler Mill Green (2m-2¾m winner). 9/2. ran to just a modest level when remote sixth on 2m Wincanton hurdle debut but likely better than that and this longer trip could help.
|
150/1, best of four runs over hurdles when sixth of 18 in 21 Warwick novice last month. Only a remote third back there (19f) since but yard has been among winners in recent days.
|
Regressive in bumpers and no real encouragement in 2 hurdle runs at Hereford in November (remote last of 3 first occasion).

Forecasts
Franco D'Aunou (4/9), Chives (5/1), Artemision (13/2), Grooveur (14/1), Snowpiercer (80/1)
Assuming he handles the likely quicker ground this looks a good opportunity for FRANCO D'AUNOU to defy a penalty. Nicky Henderson's Chives can leave his debut behind and give the selection most to think about.
- FRANCO D'AUNOU (FR)
- CHIVES
