J: Nico de Boinville

T: Nicky Henderson

Considered a Supreme hope at the start of the term and he did nothing to dispel those thoughts when impressing on hurdles debut in a Newbury maiden (about 2m, soft) in November; surprisingly turned over by a 3yo over that C&D (good) one month later but firmly back on track when sent up in trip to comfortably land a Huntingdon Listed event (about 2m4f, soft) last time; his trainer used that race as a stepping stone to Cheltenham Festival glory for Shishkin in 2020 and this one commands plenty of respect.

J: Nico de Boinville

T: Nicky Henderson

Solid form at Newbury (2m, soft/good) since joining Nicky Henderson and switched to hurdles, beating Sinnatra then runner-up to a fairly useful juvenile who received plenty of weight; bred to stay this longer distance and should still have further improvement in him; major player.

T: Nicky Henderson

Bumper winner (showed promise on soft in that sphere) who won on his hurdle/stable debut at Newbury (2m, soft) in November before close second at 2-7 there (2m, good) in December, behind £360,000 purchase Minella Yoga who is declared to run in the 12:40; there's every chance this longer trip will be within range and he's a leading player for his top stable.

Fairly useful form in bumpers for an Irish yard then Paul Nicholls; won going away in C&D maiden hurdle (soft) on debut for Nicky Henderson and should have plenty more to offer; leading player even with 5lb penalty.

Solid bumper record for Gearoid O'Loughlin then Paul Nicholls, making the frame in two notable races (including on soft ground) prior to taking advantage of drop in class at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looks interesting now switched to hurdling for Nicky Henderson and yard has won this race six times in last ten years.
