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.

J: Nico de Boinville

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.

J: Harry Cobden

T: Paul Nicholls

Defied odds of 80-1 when third in a valuable bumper at Punchestown last April and he looked as though he'd win that until fading late on (had raced keenly); there are mixed messages as to the strength of that form but he's open to any amount of improvement for Paul Nicholls.
