Developed into useful hurdler last season and has matched that level back over fences this season, bumping into one who has scored again since in handicap at Exeter (24.2f, soft) 29 days ago. Respected.
|
Grade 2 winner as a novice. Low-key start to last season but back on scoresheet at Wetherby on Boxing Day 2023. However, just the one decent effort from 4 starts for this yard since, so he looks to be up against it. Cheekpieces back on.
|
Not straightforward but opened chase account at second attempt at Uttoxeter in March last year. Runner-up at Fontwell on return, before reverting to his free-going ways when third at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft) last time. Has the ability to get involved.
|
Won first 3 starts sent chasing back in 2022/23 and shaped encouragingly after 19-month absence when runner-up at Galway in October. Below form both outings since, but yard's runners in Britain have to be taken seriously.
|
Made it fifth time lucky in chases when capitalising on reduced mark at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft) on reappearance. Not in the same form returned to the same C&D 22 days ago, but he could bounce back with cheekpieces applied.
|
Fairly useful winning hurdler who confirmed promise of chasing debut when landing handicap at this course (20.2f, good to soft) in December, asserting final 1f. Major player with further improvement to come upped in trip.
|
Five-time hurdle winner in 2022/23 campaign. Lost way subsequently but made promising chase debut when never-nearer second of 5 in handicap at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) in December. Merits consideration back up in trip.
|
Successful twice at Exeter last season, including when tried in veterans company in March. With reappearance behind him, good second in handicap at the same course (19.2f, heavy) last time and he can give his running once more.
|
Successful on chase debut at Chepstow last season and added to his tally at Warwick a year ago. Some good efforts in defeat since, before getting back to winning ways at this course (24.2f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Could be in the mix.
|
Three-time winner over hurdles in Ireland and landed 2 handicap chase victories for this yard last term. After a couple of runs over hurdles, not discredited back chasing at Ascot (18.8f, soft) 27 days ago, but will need to find more again.
|
Winless last season and went with little fluency when well-beaten fourth of 7 at Haydock (16.3f, heavy) on return. Has fallen further in the weights, but others still more persuasive as he goes back up in trip with visor reached for.
|
Lightly raced and off the mark at third attempt over fences at Auteuil (17.4f) in June 2023, his final run for Emmanuel Clayeux. Changed hands for €310,000, before facing stiff task at Cheltenham when last seen 10 months ago. Makes handicap debut.
|
Back-to-back winner at Chepstow (both at 19.5f) last season and after a couple of lesser efforts he returned to form when runner-up in veterans event at Lingfield (20f, soft) in December, albeit no match for winner. This is tougher.
|
Irish point winner who was a narrow winner on handicap hurdle bow at Sedgefield in March 2023. After 21 months off, matched that level when fifth of 14 at Hexham (20.1f, soft) on chase debut in December and is open to improvement in this sphere.

Forecasts
Hasthing (6/4), Jupiter Du Gite (9/2), Hititi (15/2), Hold Up La Colmine (9/1), Hugos New Horse (12/1), Ballycamus (14/1), Tyre Kicker (18/1), Es Perfecto (18/1), Red Rookie (20/1), Thor De Cerisy (22/1), Jamaico (25/1), Stormy Flight (28/1), Carbon King (33/1), Do Your Job (100/1)
HASTHING has made a promising start over fences this season, scoring with a bit in hand at this course on his latest outing, so he is taken to follow up with more still to offer as he goes up in distance. Hugos New Horse got back on track when runner-up on chase debut and is another potential improver in the line-up, with Hititi completing the shortlist.
- Hasthing6/4
- Hugos New Horse12/1
- Hititi15/2
