Telescope gelding from a family the yard knows well and confirmed debut promise when getting up late in slowly-run Exeter bumper (17f) in April. Hurdles debut didn't go to plan, far too free and on the retreat when falling over C&D 3 weeks ago.

£72,000 3-y-o. Half-brother to French chasers Extra Lida and Happyboum Lida. Dam unraced half-sister to useful French hurdler/chaser Rhialco. Shaped well when second on debut in October and while he failed to land the odds at Southwell 3 weeks ago, it was a step up in form terms. One to beat.

Pretty useful on the Flat for the Gosdens in 2024. Well beaten in Goodwood handicap for this yard a year ago and looked badly in need of the experience starting out in this sphere at Musselburgh in March.

Fair maiden on the Flat but nowhere near that level both hurdles starts in recent weeks.

Kapgarde mare who made the frame in a trio of bumpers (modest form) but no impact both starts over obstacles 9 months apart.

Forecasts

Louis Veron (2/9), Lyric (5/1), Dunstall Star (12/1), Garde My Guinness (28/1), Colibri Bleu (40/1), Chambers (40/1), Connemara Joe (150/1)

Verdict

It's very hard to get away from LOUIS VERON on the back of a pair of promising runner-up efforts with credible rivals thin on the ground. Lyric is awarded the tentative vote for forecast purposes.
