10/1
Ex-French maiden who built on earlier promise for his current yard when a very good second of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D 26 days ago. Form has been franked so he's a likely player.

Much improved on his yard debut when opening his account in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, soft) 71 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's well in the mix again.

Still a maiden and he came in only eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D 26 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Lightly-raced maiden but she recorded a good second of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Wetherby (16f, heavy) 49 days ago. Much respected now going into handicaps.

Cheekpieces on and failed to step forward on his handicap bow when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, soft) 57 days ago, going in snatches. More is required.

On the up and bids for a hat-trick following 2m handicap wins at Lingfield and Wincanton. Up another 6 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Little show in a trio of runs, only ninth of 11 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Bangor (16.7f, soft) 154 days ago. Much more required on his handicap debut.

C&D winner. Off 5 months before an encouraging sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D 26 days ago, fading from last. Can make his presence felt with that run under his belt.

C&D winner but he was a below form ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 161 days ago. It's now fifteen runs since his last win in 2023.

Arrives in good nick, third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good) 11 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts in search of a maiden victory.

Modest maiden hurdler for Paul Henderson in the summer of 2023. Resumes after 22 months off for her yard/handicap debut and the market can prove a good guide.

Forecasts

Just Aidan (3/1), Rodney (4/1), Gavin (5/1), Good Impression (8/1), L'empire Vert (10/1), Yorgunnabeplucky (10/1), Victor Haze (12/1), Cher Monsieur (14/1), Kylenoe Dancer (16/1), Leech (20/1), Highbury Hill (25/1), Triple Nickle (28/1)

Verdict

L'EMPIRE VERT signalled he is ready to get off the mark when a very good recent C&D second so gets the vote with that form having been well advertised since. C&D scorer Good Impression heads the list of dangers if, as expected, building on an encouraging C&D sixth. Hat-trick seeking Just Aidan and Taunton winner Rodney also command plenty of respect too in this open handicap.
