Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 126| BF

11/10

Ex-French bumper winner who landed 2m Kempton juvenile on yard debut. Not disgraced when runner-up in 2m Warwick hurdle only run since. Merits serious consideration on handicap bow off good mark.

14/1

Winning pointer, and a fairly useful hurdler in 2019/20, but hasn't made any great impact over both sets of obstacles since, tongue tied when fourth of 5 at Exeter last time. Others preferred.

Gained first win in this sphere in 2m3f Taunton handicap in April but (15/8) unseated his rider at the first at Kempton (16f) 16 days ago. May still do better. Shortlisted.

Forecasts

Heross Du Seuil (11/10), Amarillo Sky (7/4), Chez Hans (9/2), Rockadenn (13/2), Getaway Fred (14/1)

HEROSS DU SEUIL looks to have got in lightly for his handicap bow and can take full advantage to make it 2-3 since joining Nicky Henderson from France. Chez Hans appeals most of the Paul Nicholls-trained duo and rates next best ahead of Amarillo Sky who has less on his plate here and can also have a say.
