Mojo Ego⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: Harry Derham| OR: 117

5/2

Fair hurdler who opened his account at Doncaster in November but wasn't in the same form at Taunton next time. Likely to get back on track after a short break.

Form: 42414

Camarrate⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

9/4

Fairly useful AW Flat winner for Grant Tuer. Below that level on first start for Donald McCain in juvenile hurdle at Warwick but may have learned from the experience.

Form: 4

Djerbanni²⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

5/1

Fairly useful form when winning a 15f Dieppe Flat maiden for Mikel Delzangles last summer. Joined a shrewd yard for his hurdle career and worth checking out in the betting.

Form:

Governor Of India¹⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| BF

5/2

Fairly useful on Flat for John Gosden in 2023 and has joined a top jumps yard now, so worth taking a chance on switched to hurdling for the first time.

Form:

Mr Le Philosophe^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: R Menzies

20/1

Fairly useful on Flat in France (stays 1½m), winning 2 handicaps in 2023. Signs of promise both hurdling outings to date but he's likely to show more once handicapping.

Form: 46

Forecasts

Camarrate (9/4), Mojo Ego (5/2), Governor Of India (5/2), Djerbanni (5/1), Mr Le Philosophe (20/1)

GOVERNOR OF INDIA and Djerbanni both showed a reasonable level of form on the Flat and appeal as the types to take to this sphere, so they're likely to play a big part, with the first named marginally preferred. Mojo Ego has an experience edge but doesn't set the bar all that high.
