Successful both starts in bumpers and also landed a pair of 2m novice hurdles last autumn. Tongue tied when pulled up at Sandown on final run in April but no surprise to see him bounce back now going chasing after a wind op.
|
Free-going sort. Bumper/hurdles winner who disappointed last 2 starts but will make a chaser (unbeaten in 3 points) and yard in good form ahead of this return.
|
Made it 5 victories from last 6 starts over hurdles when bagging 2m handicap at Uttoxeter in May. Looked rusty sent chasing after 5 months off (easy to back) there 19 days ago and will surely leave that run behind in due course. Headgear back on.
|
Point/bumper winner who quickly made into a fairly useful winning hurdler in 2023/24 and shaped well when fourth on chasing bow at Warwick in January for Nicky Henderson. However, just respectable efforts both starts over fences for new yard last month.
|
Successful over hurdles hereon return last season but he signed off with a below-form eighth at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) in April. No surprise to see him bounce back on his fencing bow (easily won sole start in Irish points).
|
Free-going sort who made a winning hurdles debut on return here last season. Failed to match that form subsequently, however, so bit to prove now going chasing.
|
Low mileage for his age and stepped up on reappearance when winning at Warwick. in April. Not beaten far at same course next time and best not to judge latest run too harshly. Produced a novicey round of jumping on only start in this sphere almost 3 years ago.
|
Won at the fourth attempt over hurdles in 2m Chepstow novice a year ago. However, well held in handicaps next 2 starts, bled when last seen in February.
|
Made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts in 11-runner handicap hurdle (13/2) at Chepstow in January, again showing a good attitude. Well held at Punchestown 3 months later but type to bounce back.
|
Improved again when scoring at Kempton in February. Finished last season on a low note, however. Makes chase debut.

Forecasts
The Kemble Brewery (9/4), Palacio (4/1), Ben Solo (5/1), Roysse (5/1), Southoftheborder (11/1), Star Of Affinity (11/1), The Winslow Boy (14/1), My Friend Sean (22/1), Tarahumara (25/1), Boyles Hill (33/1)
ROYSSE is very much the sort to take to chasing and his yard has sent out 7 first-time-out winners in the last week alone. The Kemble Brewery has a similar profile to the selection so is feared, while My Friend Sean should leave his chase bow behind in due course.
- Roysse5/1
