Icone D'aubrelle²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen| T: N P Mulholland| BF| D

3/1

Promising sort who won 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Bordeaux in September for A. Boisbrunet. Similar form despite failing to justify favouritism at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and he can progress.

Form: 12

In The Air¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

8/11

Made second start in France a winning one in 11-runner juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.4f, soft) in November. First run for yard after leaving D. Sourdeau De Beauregard and should have more to offer.

Form: 31

Chadlington Lad²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling

28/1

Fair form in a pair 7f maidens on Flat for Ben Haslam but has gone with little promise on completed starts over hurdles.

Form: U06

Mamluk¹⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams

12/1

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m) in France in 2021, successful in maiden from 5 starts. Left Jean-Claude Rouget €25,000 in November, then gelded ahead of this hurdles debut.

Form:

Vazir²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

6/1

Fairly useful winner on the Flat in France for Alain de Royer Dupre. Well held on hurdles debut at Warwick but had a wind op after and more like it when fourth at Doncaster.

Form: 64

Miss Curiosity¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

80/1

Easily best effort in bumpers when second to Fergal O'Brien's unbeaten Poetic Music at Newbury in December. Needs to leave opening hurdles effort behind her.

Form: 5284

Forecasts

In The Air (8/11), Lifetime Legend (7/4), Icone D'aubrelle (3/1), Vazir (6/1), Mamluk (12/1), Chadlington Lad (28/1), Miss Curiosity (80/1)

IN THE AIR and Icone D'Aubrelle were good enough to win in juvenile company in their native France, with marginal preference for the former starting out for a yard in superb form. Lifetime Legend would surely have won had he negotiated the second-last flight at Doncaster and he's another to consider.
