Low-key start and sent off 100/1 for a Huntingdon novice on Boxing Day but he showed a lot more, keeping on for third despite late mistakes. No surprise were he to build on that.
|
Off mark in Irish points at third attempt in February but hasn't shown much in a trio of runs under Rules so far.
|
Made frame both starts in Irish points but was pulled up on last month's hurdling/Rules debut at Hereford. Cheekpieces quickly applied.
|
Imperial Monarch gelding who was a remote second in an Irish point in last October and failed to see the race out when down the field in a Doncaster bumper back in March. Had wind surgery after and October's hurdles debut wasn't devoid of promise.
|
Opened account at third attempt between the flags but has shown nothing both starts under Rules (bumper/novice hurdle).
|
Successful on the second of 2 starts in points but failed to meet expectations switched to Rules when pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Worcester back in October. Same story at Doncaster 2 months later. Breathing op and tongue tie may help his cause.
|
Pulled up in newcomers event at Auteuil on hurdling debut in March but fared much better when third of 10 in a bumper at Morlaix 2 months later. Left David Cottin for €42,000 after and well held on British debut.
|
Winning pointer who made a pleasing start under Rules when runner-up in a Stratford bumper (for Philip Rowley). Not at that level first 2 starts over hurdles.
|
£75,000 5-y-o, Presenting gelding. Gamely off mark in Irish points at third attempt in May and made a promising start over hurdles when third of 16 at Chepstow in October. That form looks strong so sure to progress and win races. Has had a wind op.
|
Placed on first couple of outings in bumpers and showed promise sent hurdling on first outing since leaving M. M. Lynch after 8 months off when third at Haydock (15.6f) last month. Looks sure to improve, especially over this longer trip.
|
Left debut effort well behind when third in Chepstow bumper last spring. However, offered little equipped with a hood (now discarded) starting out in a mares' maiden on return in October.

Forecasts
Richhill (8/11), Roccovango (9/4), A Definite Getaway (5/1), Chilinlikeavillain (20/1), Imaginary Dragon (33/1), Heads Or Harps (50/1), Mystic Man (66/1), Artic Breeze (80/1), Ballinoulart (100/1), Deadly Missile (150/1), Black Sam Vicki (200/1)
Point-winner RICHHILL produced a very promising first effort over hurdles when third at Chepstow in October, and with that race working out, he looks the way to go representing a stable in terrific form. This step up in trip is sure to suit Roccovango and he's a big threat, along with A Definite Getaway.
