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.

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.

50/1
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.

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)

Verdict

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.
