4/1

Decent jumps pedigree and found just one too good on sole start between the flags in February. Short-priced on hurdles debut at Newton Abbot last month but proved a hefty let-down, trailing in eighth of 10 runners. Clearly thought capable of better.

Form: 2-8

Maccarellu³⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams

2/1

Maiden winner on the Flat in France and has shown ability across 6 starts in this sphere, most recently when second at Compeigne. Since changed hands for €80,000 and though he's been off the track for a year, he sets a clear standard.

Patrimonio²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

10/11

Cost £80,000 after finishing runner-up on his sole start in Irish points. Has to be of interest for this promising yard.

Form: 2-

Lady Dapple Rose²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin

25/1

Modest form in bumpers at Cheltenham and Aintree 6 months apart. Can only be watched on hurdles bow.

Forecasts

Patrimonio (10/11), Maccarellu (2/1), Hot To Go (4/1), Count Adhemar (10/1), Lady Dapple Rose (25/1)

MACCARELLU ran to a fairly useful level when placed on his final start in France and can make a winning debut for new connections after a year off. Point runner-up Patrimonio is most feared for the Derham team, whilst better things are surely expected of Hot To Go after his flop on Rules debut.
