Useful hurdler who hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons. Made a sound start over fences when second at Carlisle in October but a listed novice at Cheltenham proved well beyond him since. This not much easier.
|
Likeable sort who was a useful novice hurdler last term, the highlight being a 3m Haydock Grade 2 success. Off 7 months, shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 9 in 3m Exeter novice handicap on chase debut 23 days ago. Sure to improve for top stable.
|
Made relentless progress over hurdles last season, culminating with a gutsy front-running display in a Grade 1 3m novice at Aintree. Should be all the sharper for her first experience of chasing at Haydock (21.5f) last month and the return to a slightly longer trip will suit too.

Forecasts
Apple Away (1/1), Makin'yourmindup (6/4), Alaphilippe (5/1), Meetmeatthearch (50/1)
An interesting opener as it features smart prospects MAKIN'YOURMINDUP and Apple Away. Both are likely to benefit from their recent first experience of chasing, with the former narrowly preferred for Paul Nicholls.

- Alaphilippe5/1
