6/1
Dual bumper winner who again looked a useful prospect when making it 2 from 2 over hurdles at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) last month. Remains capable of better and much respected.

4/6
Won his only start in points and he has looked a most exciting hurdling prospect when easily landing a pair of 2m Newbury novice hurdles this winter. Has plenty more to offer and can maintain his unbeaten record upped in grade.

9/2
Bumper winner who made it 2-2 over hurdles when seeing off 14 rivals at Wincanton (2m, heavy) 46 days ago, again impressing with how he travelled. Open to further improvement and shouldn't be underestimated.

12/1
Took a big step forward when getting off the mark in Musselburgh novice (19.8f) in November before following up in comprehensive fashion under a penalty at Newcastle (16.9f). Needs to improve again in this tougher company but that's possible.

11/1
Made all both bumper outings and could hardly have been more impressive switched to hurdling when thrashing 3 previous winners at Perth (20.2f). Has backed up that effort in better company since, fourth in Listed hurdle at Haydock (18.9f, heavy) 35 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Forecasts

Jeriko Du Reponet (4/6), Lump Sum (9/2), Fiercely Proud (6/1), El Elefante (11/1), The Kalooki Kid (12/1)

Verdict

Nicky Henderson took this Grade 2 with his high-class hurdler/chaser Jonbon when it was last run in 2022 and his much-vaunted JERIKO DU REPONET is hard to oppose on the back of two impressive Newbury novice successes. Lump Sum also has much better days ahead of him and looks the one to chase home the favourite ahead of The Kalooki Kid and Fiercely Proud.
