11/8

Smashing advert for his stable, completing excellent 4-timer in Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock in January. Unable to get competitive in Champion Hurdle itself but promises to take high rank among this season's novice chasers.

Geromino^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 138| CD

8/13

Has made the most of good opportunities to score in small-field chases at up to 20f on his last 4 runs. That experience will count for plenty but he comes up against a really exciting novice chase prospect.

Forecasts

Geromino (8/13), Tommy's Oscar (11/8)

TOMMY'S OSCAR was one of the stories of the season over hurdles last term and promises to be at least as good over fences. If ready to roll he should be far too good for Geromino, who has made hay in small-field events in recent months but hasn't come up against anything with the potential of Ann Hamilton's charge.
