Le Beau Madrik⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 125

7/4

Runner-up in both bumpers and impressed when winning his first 2 starts over hurdles at up to 2½m at Newcastle. Lost his unbeaten record with a bit of a whimper in Grade 2 at Kelso but is worth another chance.

Form: 2-211P

Legendary Luke⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 124

9/4

£100,000 Irish point winner who finished an encouraging second in a Worcester bumper in October. Quickened nicely to go one place better switched to hurdling a month later and showed a good attitude to follow up at Fontwell. Didn't look out of place in Grade 2 here latest and warrants respect.

Form: 1-2114

Matty's Getaway^t¹³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 128| DWS

9/4

Successful on completed start in Irish points and built on previous promise under Rules in a first-time tongue strap when ready winner of 21f Doncaster maiden in November. Had a breathing operation since but appeals as the type to go on improving.

Form: PF1-341

Padre Arthur⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

15/2

Well-bred individual who improved on his hurdling debut form when second of 15 in 21f novice at Kempton in February, not knocked about. Open to further progress.

Le Beau Madrik (7/4), Intosomethinggood (2/1), Matty's Getaway (9/4), Legendary Luke (9/4), Padre Arthur (15/2)

It's a little concerning MATTY'S GETAWAY hasn't been seen since his Doncaster success in November but he readily accounted for a subsequent Grade 2 winner that day and appeals as the type to go on to better things. Le Beau Madrik is well worth another chance having created an excellent impression prior to disappointing up in grade at Kelso.
