Kalif Du Berlais³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 141| D

4/7

Useful juvenile hurdler who showed no ill effects from chase debut fall on return at Carlisle (2m) in November when taking 10-runner novices' handicap at Newbury (16.4f) 33 days ago, by ¾ length from Tedley. Evidently a smart prospect and big player with more to come.

Form: 1113-F1

Tedley^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 129| D

4/1

Different proposition since switched to chasing, winning his first 2 starts at Uttoxeter (16f) and Wetherby (19.4f). Performed creditably in finishing runner-up behind both of today's rivals at Newbury/Windsor in recent months and he looks sure to give another good account.

Form: 511222

Vincenzo¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 129| D

3/1

Fairly useful hurdler who took well to this discipline when winning 5-runner novices' handicap chase at Windsor (2m) 17 days ago, responding well to see of re-opposing Tedley by 1¾ lengths. Rates the type to do better still.

Form: 431-361

Forecasts

Kalif Du Berlais (4/7), Vincenzo (3/1), Tedley (4/1)

KALIF DU BERLAIS showed no ill effects from his chase debut spill and marked himself down as a smart prospect in the process when running out a ¾-lengthwinner from re-opposing Tedley at Newbury 33 days ago and a subsequent 6 lb rise should see him highly competitive again. Vincenzo can emerge as the chief threat.
