33/1
Hurdles winner who made it 2-3 in this sphere when landing a 4-runner novices' handicap at Newcastle (16.3f) last month. Remains the type to do better again but this a whole lot more demanding.

Fairly useful hurdler who showed improved form to make a winning chase debut in an Exeter novice (19.2f) in December. Jumping has let him down in higher grade since and others make more appeal. Hooded

8/13
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who has made a fine start over fences, taking rise in class in his stride when landing Gr. 2 Dipper at Cheltenham (20.6f) last month. Serious claims once more up at Grade 1 level.

7/1
Progressed into useful hurdler last season and similar form in a couple of starts over fences this winter, second in a novices' handicap at Kempton (20.5f) on Boxing Day. This does demand more, though

Verdict

A low-mileage 7-y-o, L'HOMME PRESSE has made a fine start to his chasing career, handling the rise in class with aplomb when completing the hat-trick in a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month. With the prospect of even more to come, he gets the nod to maintain his 100% record in this sphere. Pic d'Orhy, who is 2-3 himself over fences this campaign, rates the chief threat.

  2. PIC D'ORHY (FR)
  3. MISTER COFFEY (FR)
