6/5
Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark over hurdles in likeable fashion in 5-runner novice at this course (19.6f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Should go on improving now that his stamina is drawn out and looks up to defying a penalty.

Capitalised on the drop in grade in bloodless fashion in 6-runner maiden hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy, 11/8) 34 days ago, going clear. Much respected under a penalty.

5/1
Irish point winner who came good at the fourth time of asking for new connections when game winner of a 25.5f Hereford maiden hurdle in February. However, proved somewhat disappointing when only third of 5 in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Huntingdon subsequently.

Successful only completed start in points and ran to a fair level when second of 8 in a 23f Worcester maiden hurdle in October 2022, pulling clear with a promising sort. Off since but yard going well and should make an impact.

Modest form only start in bumpers and in need of the experience sent hurdling on first run since leaving Tom Lacey when sixth of 8 in a Lingfield maiden (19.5f, good to soft) in November. Probably one for handicaps later on.

Forecasts

Grand Albert (6/5), Haiti Couleurs (2/1), Heros De Romay (10/3), Illico De Cotte (5/1), Galassian (13/2), Industrialist (66/1), Record High (80/1), Top Kap (100/1)

Verdict

GRAND ALBERT should go on improving now that his stamina is drawn out, so there's every reason to believe he can defy a penalty. Fellow last-time-out scorer Haiti Couleurs is much respected with some of his earlier form reading well in the context of this race. Galassian hasn't been seen for 18 months but reappears with his yard in good form and also needs considering.
