2/1
Useful French chaser who was picked up for a six-figure sum. Clear promise over hurdles for new yard but failed to complete on his first run over fences in Britain at Warwick last month. Blinkers on.

16/1
Won veterans' handicap at Haydock in December 2020 but little to shout about since, pulled up in that corresponding race 3 months ago. Hopes pinned on this switch back over the smaller obstacles.

Well held in a bumper but very much caught the eye upped markedly in trip when third on hurdling debut, finishing with running left. Upped further in distance, he seems sure to do better.

6/5
Won 5 of 6 starts in Irish points but pitched in too deep on Rules debut when well held in Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Off since and makes hurdles bow today.

Forecasts

Mr Mantilla (6/5), Grace A Vous Enki (2/1), Lucky So And So (3/1), Late Romantic (16/1)

Verdict

LUCKY SO AND SO was sent off a huge price but very much caught the eye under this rider when third on his hurdling debut at Exeter recently, noted finishing with running left. He seems sure to do better and, with this further step up in trip almost certain to suit, he can open his account. Things haven't exactly gone to plan for Grace A Vous Enki on these shores but he looks the main danger.
