7/4
Fairly useful on the Flat in Germany and landed gamble on hurdles debut at Taunton last month, left in front last by Graystone's fall to beat Girandole 2 lengths. Headgear goes on and should improve.

Fair Flat performer who made successful hurdles debut at Huntingdon in October. Good efforts since (behind a couple of subsequent winners at Cheltenham latest) and remains with potential.

Bit concerning that he was 0-10 on the level for David O'Meara but he's proven in the mud and is a half-brother to the classy hurdler Metier. Switch to this game could be the making of him.

Fairly useful winner at up to 2m on the Flat and likely to reach that sort of level in time over jumps judged on his Kempton third over Christmas. One to keep on the right side of.

Forecasts

Irish Hill (7/4), Twilight Twist (2/1), Doctor Parnassus (3/1), Graystone (4/1), Hayedo (4/1), Restitution (6/1), Girandole (14/1)

Verdict

IRISH HILL should have more to offer for Paul Nicholls and can follow up his Taunton win now fitted with headgear. Doctor Parnassus, a half-brother to the classy hurdler Metier, is very interesting starting out in this sphere for Dan Skelton. Restitution is another likely improver to note.

  1. IRISH HILL (GER)
  2. DOCTOR PARNASSUS (IRE)
  3. RESTITUTION (FR)
