100/1
Winning pointer (beat sole rival) in early 2025 but pulled up all 3 starts in that sphere in 2026 and finished a remote third on Warwick hurdle debut at the start of the month. Tailed off over C&D since. Hooded first time here.

Maiden Irish pointer who was a remote fourth in a Warwick maiden on hurdle debut 4 weeks ago.

250/1
250/1 when tailed off in a Hereford maiden hurdle for Alison Thorpe in March 2025. Has failed to complete in a couple of points this spring ahead of this return to hurdles.

Modest form when fourth in a bumper and 2 maiden hurdles. Probably more one for handicaps after this.

10/3
Useful up to 1¼m on the Flat but beaten a long way when reaching the frame in both hurdles, latterly over C&D (good) 14 days ago. Still early days in this sphere, though.

Timeform
Fair in bumpers but hasn't impressed with his jumping when beaten a long way in 2 C&D novice hurdles.

3/1
Wide-margin course bumper win last month came in a very weak race but he should still be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

11/10
Useful 3-time winner on Flat for Ralph Beckett. Shaped encouragingly when third on 2m Newbury hurdle debut in January. Reported to have bled when flopping at Catterick 16 days later. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this first run for 5 months and could be a class above this opposition.

Forecasts

Square D'alboni (11/10), Bound For Glory (3/1), Penzance (10/3), Mr Rafiki (7/1), Usyk (14/1), Connemara Joe (80/1), Colibri Bleu (100/1), King Troy (250/1)

Verdict

SQUARE D'ALBONI isn't one for maximum faith given what happened at Catterick but he could be way too good for these rivals if a breathing operation has had a positive effect. Easy course bumper winner Bound For Glory can give him most to think about.
