16/5

Comfortably made all in juvenile hurdle at Bangor (16.7f) on debut in November and followed up in similar fashion at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) last time. This is tougher but he remains open to improvement.

Mustang Du Breuil¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

4/7

Promising individual who landed 13-runner juvenile hurdle (44/1) at Auteuil (17.9f, soft) on debut 105 days ago. Since joined Nicky Henderson and must be of interest here.

Form: 1

28/1

Siyouni gelding. Half-brother to 1m-9.7f winner in France Vcte de Jodelet. Dam French 1¼m winner. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Molly's Lad³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien

5/1

Strong in the betting and made a promising start to his career when second at Aintree in November and backed that up when fifth of 16 in listed bumper (5/1) at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) 35 days ago, sticking to task. Worth monitoring in market on hurdles debut.

Form: 25

Pink 'n Purple²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

150/1

Signs of only minor promise in a bumper and brace of hurdles starts and looks a longer-term prospect.

Form: 656

Pippin's Legend^t1³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: C E Longsdon

14/1

Showed promise on bumper debut and offered something to work on when third of 6 in juvenile at Haydock (15.6f, good) on hurdles bow 37 days ago, running green. Tongue strap on first time. Should progress.

Form: 43

The Grayster³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Luke Scott⁽³⁾| T: Dr R Newland

14/1

Ran with credit on debut here in November but failed to improve on that at Haydock the following month and looks up against it here.

Form: 25

Capla Resdev³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M & D Easterby

150/1

Showed some promise in bumper here in November but finished well beaten at Uttoxeter since and is best watched on switch to hurdling.

Form: 48

Forecasts

Mustang Du Breuil (4/7), Milou Du Chenet (16/5), Molly's Lad (5/1), Cotton Socks (12/1), The Grayster (14/1), Pippin's Legend (14/1), Duc De Rohan (28/1), Capla Resdev (150/1), Pink 'n Purple (150/1)

MUSTANG DU BREUIL sets the standard on his French form and looks a likely improver for his new yard. He can land the spoils. Milou du Chenet and Pippin's Legend may provide the chief threat.
