40/1
Fair 10f Flat winner for Mick Appleby but only seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Warwick (19f, 28/1) on NH debut 20 days ago. Plenty more is needed for his new stable.

4/5
Fairly useful maiden hurdler at his best. 11/2, below form tenth in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (21.4ft) 81 days ago. Cheekpieces on and holds good form claims if headgear sparks a resurgence.

€5,200 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dam placed once in bumpers. Placed in points but pulled up in that sphere last time. Needs to step forward.

6/5
Fair hurdler/chaser who posted good second of 7 in novice hurdle at Warwick (25f) 9 days ago. Merits serious consideration.

100/1
Has offered little all three runs, remote sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, 150/1) 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip with lots of work to do.

40/1
Poor hurdler who remains a maiden after 14 runs. 22/1, remote second in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f) 34 days ago, so others are preferred.

Forecasts

Gaulois (4/5), Jean Genie (6/5), Global Mystery (25/1), Menapian (40/1), By Jove (40/1), Kentford Drake (100/1)

Verdict

JEAN GENIE and Gaulois possess much the best form on show and Tim Vaughan's fair hurdler/chaser is taken to gain a deserved first success after numerous near misses. Gaulois has failed to fire on his last two starts but would still pose a major threat if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect on Paul Nicholls' 6-y-o.

  1. Jean Genie6/5
  2. Gaulois4/5
  3. Menapian40/1
