Showed fair form in a trio of starts in bumpers last season and placed in novice/maiden hurdles around 2½m first 2 outings this term. Disappointed drop in trip at Kempton on Boxing Day but could bounce back after a break. Tongue strap left off.

Showed first form when second of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (21.8f, good to soft, 250/1) 40 days ago, suited by step up in trip. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.

Half-brother to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Invitation Only and shaped better than first time up when fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (16f, good, 20/1) 32 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Joe Tizzard and promises to be suited by this slightly longer trip.

Looked one for later on when well held in Plumpton novice hurdle on last month's debut.

Promising fourth in listed newcomers race at Auteuil on hurdling debut for David Cottin. Has yet to match that form in 3 runs on these shores but still sets a clear standard in a winnable-looking maiden.

Forecasts

Kansas Du Berlais (1/1), Awaythelad (11/8), Tellmesomethingood (15/2), Privatearing (14/1), Lady Salvador (100/1), Henzo Des Boullats (100/1), Sweet Saffron (250/1)

Verdict

KANSAS DU BERLAIS has been a bit disappointing since joining Gary Moore given the promise he showed on his sole outing in France, but this looks very winnable so he's afforded one more chance. Awaythelad can provide the main threat if bouncing back from a poor run at Kempton on Boxing Day.
