1/8
Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Nov 23) and created a positive impression when following up on Rules debut in a Huntingdon maiden (15.8f) 5 weeks ago, jumping accurately and quickening to lead before 2 out. Prime claims under a penalty with progress anticipated.

Little impact in a couple of bumpers and similar story in pair of maiden/novice hurdles upon returning to action this winter. Handicaps will be more his bag after this.

8/1
Fairly useful on Flat on balance of form in France (seems to stay 1½m) and twice in-the-frame in 2023. Acquired by new connections for €62,000 later that year and whilst absent since, market confidence behind him in the betting would look significant now hurdling. One to note.

Teofilo gelding who is bred more for the Flat and little encouragement when last of 16 in a C&D bumper 9 months ago, tailed-off straight. Passed over now hurdling on reappearance.

Unplaced both starts in points and failed to beat a rival in a bumper at Fairyhouse in November, he offered little starting out for new yard when ninth of 12 in a novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) 3 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Vanderpoel (1/8), King Of Records (8/1), Grenardier (9/1), Tracking Treasure (33/1), Arkendale (125/1), Wick Hill (125/1), Tican (250/1)

Verdict

Winning pointer VANDERPOEL created a positive impression when making a successful debut over hurdles at Huntingdon 5 weeks ago and open to improvement, he looks to hold outstanding claims in his bid to make it 2-2 under Rules. King of Records has a lengthy absence to overcome but was a fairly useful operator on the Flat in France and he could emerge as the lead danger on debut for Venetia Williams.
