Kim Roque

10st 13lb

J: J J Slevin

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Ex-French 6yo who has shown promise in defeat in his four starts for this yard; latest was the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good; acts on soft) in which he was joint-second favourite, never posed the slightest threat to the front two but passed nearly all his other rivals to finish fourth of 23; whether he's battle-hardened enough for this is a question but there's very little doubt that he remains capable of better.

J: Mr J L Gleeson

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Ex-French 6yo who has shown promise in defeat on his three starts for this yard (soft/good to soft), most recently fifth of 23 over an extended 2m5f at Leopardstown; kept on well when second over 2m6f at Dieppe last June and it's possible this new trip will be within range; might not be far away.

Chase winner in France ran similar races in defeat both starts for this yard at Cheltenham; shouldn't mind this ground and has the scope to do better, so is on the shortlist.

J: Richard Deegan

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Three wins in France and promising second in small field on stable debut here (2m4f, soft) four weeks ago, doing well to recover from a peck on landing after the final fence; in a hotter race he's 5lb higher today from out of the handicap but this 5yo may well have more to offer for Joseph O'Brien.

Kim Roque

10st 5lb

J: Richard Deegan

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Half-brother to three French jumps winners, two pretty useful; dam French 12.5f Flat and 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to French 2m3f Grade 1 hurdle winner; all ten races have been in France for Daniela Mele, winning two over hurdles (one on heavy) and one of his three chases; best form when second in Listed handicap at Dieppe (2m6f, soft) in June last time and it's possible that he's been let in lightly for this handicap on stable debut.
