Smart on Flat in Ireland and progressive over hurdles for new yard this winter, supplementing his Plumpton success (20.5f) at Ayr (2m). Open to further improvement and much respected under a double penalty.

Progressive hurdler who landed good-ground novices at Exeter and Wincanton on successive days in November. Runner-up next 2 starts and wasted no time looking back in form when ninth of 17 in Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m) last time, best work finish.

10/1
Fairly useful bumper winner who made the most of a good opportunity second time up over hurdles in 5-runner novice at Newbury (16.3f, good) 24 days ago, well on top finish. Remains open to improvement.

10/11
Dual bumper winner in France for Armand Lefeuvre at the start of 2024 and belied market weakness to make a winning start over hurdles in 2m Kempton maiden in December. Jumped a bit sloppy when third at Newbury since and remains with potential.

Forecasts

Kientzheim (10/11), Sorceleur (2/1), Serious Challenge (5/1), John Barbour (10/1), Monticello (300/1)

Verdict

KIENTZHEIM's jumping lacked some fluency when third at Newbury in February, but she remains with plenty of potential now returned to a sharp 2m and cane make the most of the weight she receives from the doubly-penalised Serious Challenge. John Barbour and Sorceleur shouldn't be taken lightly, either.
