Smart hurdler at his best. However, his record over fences has been somewhat underwhelming.

Gingembre Menthe¹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Nick Williams

15/2

Fairly useful form over hurdles in France so needs to improve quite a bit for the switch to chasing.

Form: 982/658-

Mill Green⁵⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 138| D

1/1

Useful hurdler who made an encouraging chase debut at Newbury in February. Not disgraced in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival since and good chance back over fences on these terms.

Form: 1P6/547-

Mr One More^t1¹⁰⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: H Fry| OR: 132| D

9/2

Fairly useful novice hurdler around 2m in 2017. Shaped encouragingly after 34 months off on chase debut at Chepstow in November but disappointed both starts since. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 165/24F-

Forecasts

Mill Green (1/1), Monsieur Lecoq (9/4), Mr One More (9/2), Gingembre Menthe (15/2)

MILL GREEN wasn't disgraced at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account over fences at the second attempt. Mr One More can follow him home.
