Monsieur Lecoq^b,t⁶¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 123| CD

5/2

Positively ridden and jumped well in main when adding to his tally here in March but hasn't fired so far this season, pulled up at Ludlow last time. Claims if he can bounce back in calmer waters.

Form: 21-4F3P

Family Business^p1,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: G Sheehan| T: R Hobson| OR: 119| D

9/4

Got right back on track when landing a Fontwell handicap November but he needs to bounce from a couple of poor runs.

Form: P-631P8

Alto Alto⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 112| D

11/10

Resumed with good Ascot handicap hurdle second but pulled up both starts since (chasing debut last time) and others make more appeal.

Form: 313-2PP

Forecasts

Alto Alto (11/10), Trapista (13/8), Family Business (9/4), Monsieur Lecoq (5/2)

TRAPISTA has shaped nicely on each of her chasing runs to date and, in a weak race, she looks set to take the beating. Monsieur Lecoq could prove a danger if able to bounce back from some poor showings and similar comments apply to Family Business.
