Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 122| BF| D

7/4

Steadily improved over hurdles for Ross O'Sullivan, finishing second in listed hurdle at Aintree before running his best race when second in a juvenile hurdle at Punchestown last time. No surprise to see another step forward on first start for leading stable.

Form: 132-2

Turenne^h1,t1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-13| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 121| BF| D

5/1

Fairly useful hurdler in France who was narrowly denied by a next-time-out winner on stable debut and looked in control when falling at Fontwell in December. Didn't settle fully when turned over at odds on subsequently but first-time hood looks a positive addition.

Form: 3-152F3

Galactique¹¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 117

17/2

Landed a double when putting his experience to good use over hurdle debutant Winston Junior (now useful) in October but off since flop in Grade 2 at Cheltenham following month. Hard to believe he gave his running that day and looks the pick of the Moore pair on jockey bookings.

Form: 2117

The Bellhop^p⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 117

15/2

Has proved a different proposition over hurdles, winning a pair of Fontwell juveniles (fortunate last time) either side of finishing well held fourth in Wensleydale at Doncaster. Stamina looks his strong suit and he may find a couple too speedy.

Form: 141

Only One Blue^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 110

4/1

Sole filly who finished third behind Bibe Mus is listed juvenile at Aintree prior to splitting a pair of subsequent winners at Chepstow in January. Form looks solid and entitled to be in the mix.

Form: 1233

Superkap²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 107

9/2

Definite merit to the form he showed on two starts in France and shaped well (just as his new stable were starting to turn a corner) behind an odds-on shot on reappearance/U.K. debut at Hereford last month. May be capable of better.

Form: 4-22

Forecasts

Bibe Mus (7/4), Only One Blue (4/1), Superkap (9/2), Turenne (5/1), Diamond Jim (13/2), The Bellhop (15/2), Galactique (17/2), Knighton (14/1)

An interesting opener with all bar the top weight making their handicap debuts and it could pay to take a chance on steadily improving KNIGHTON whose opening mark looks a fair one. Ex-French recruit Superkap makes appeal following an encouraging stable debut, while Only One Blue split a couple of subsequent winners on her latest start.
