Placed on both completed starts on the Flat and fairly useful form over hurdles, including when third of 13 in minor event at Fontainebleau (18.9f) last time. Has left N. Chevalier. Has to be considered the one to beat.

Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when third in 5-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) 35 days ago, needing no excuses. Probably doesn't have much scope for improvement.

£45,000 5-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam (c128/h121) 2¾m/3m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 27f). Won sole start in Irish points (Mar 2025). Interesting Rules newcomer.

Forecasts

Fairlawn Skipper (8/11), Calme Olympien (11/4), Minella Apprentice (3/1)

Verdict

CALME OLYMPIEN has shown fairly useful form in France and has to be considered the one to beat on his UK/stable debut, though strong market support for successful Irish pointer Minella Apprentice would put a slightly different slant on matters.
