Quick to make into a useful hurdler in France, going 2-3 in 2m1f conditions event at Auteuil last September. Since changed hands for €320,000 and rates an interesting fencing debutant for in-form yard.

Very smart novice hurdler who came in an excellent second in Grade 1 at Aintree in April 2023. Seen out only once since though when pulled up in 3m Chesptow handicap hurdle 9 months ago. Still can't be discounted now going chasing.
|
A useful 2m5f winning hurdler who made a promising start in this sphere despite coming in last of 4 in novice at Exeter (24.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago, fading late on. Should be sharper for that first run for 7 months and not without interest.

Forecasts
Just Ennemi (5/6), Western Knight (15/8), Maximilian (5/1)
None of the trio can be ruled out here but the vote goes to Harry Derham's new recruit JUST ENNEMI who showed useful winning form over hurdles in France and cost connections 320,000 euros. He is taken to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere and thwart Joe Tizzard's Western Knight who is fancied to build on an encouraging chasing bow at Exeter. The lightly-raced Maximilian needs considering too starting out over fences.
