Point/hurdle winner; reappearance over hurdles was fine and he was only 9-2 for his handicap/chase debut at Taunton only to come down early; needs respecting. |

11st 13lb |
Hurdling ability needs respecting but tailed off at Worcester on chasing debut in September and suffered the same fate here three weeks ago; might be happier back on softer ground. |

Would be very interesting on the pick of his hurdling from but tailed off at Worcester on chasing debut in September; seems best on soft ground, so there are doubts for now. |

11st 9lb |
Absent for 562 days after comfortably winning a novice hurdle (2m7f, good); second run in handicaps this term was better than the first and he could step up again now sent over fences, a discipline he's bred for. |
9/2 |

30th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Romped home at Worcester in May 2021, on his debut under rules, but then absent until finishing last at Ffos Las last month (weak in the market); may well leave that behind but others have less to prove. |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten on last month's chase/handicap debut but the ground was heavy and that run came after a 651-day absence; drops in grade and moves up in trip here; remains very lightly raced for his age and may yet build upon his very promising hurdle form from 2020-21. |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Very unexposed 7yo who won a soft-ground maiden hurdle in February 2021; today's chase/handicap debut comes after a 651-day absence but he still looks interesting. |

1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Only 1-8 over hurdles but bred to make a chaser and he made the perfect start at Bangor (2m4f, heavy) having benefited from his nearest rival's final-fence blunder; he didn't take that fence too well either but jumped soundly in the main; only 3lb higher. |

11st 10lb |
Raced too freely but still ran very big race in defeat over C&D (heavy) on last month's chasing debut, looking sure to win until succumbing on the run-in; has to take a 5lb rise on the chin but still commands respect. |
4/1 |

31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Successful twice over 2m as a novice hurdler last term; nowhere near best on Exeter reappearance; something to prove back up in distance on debut over fences. |

Not beaten that far when seventh here (3m2f) on stable debut in November and has become very well handicapped on older form, but fell when last in action and his current ability is tricky to assess. |

He went up 6lb for beating only three rivals in his second chase at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) and he never threatened to bring up the hat-trick at Plumpton (3m1f); might be capable of better than he showed there and Caoilin Quinn's claim is welcomed; has won over this trip on good ground. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 4 |

Going away at the finish over C&D when winning his second chase but he went up 6lb for beating only three rivals and he finished a well-held third at Plumpton yesterday; opposable if turned out again. |

Placed behind good horses last winter and he was in front at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) when unseating two from home; could have some mileage in this mark now into handicaps and, back from a break, the market needs checking. |

10st 12lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who made winning handicap hurdle debut in January; ultimately well beaten on last month's seasonal/chase debut at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) but ran well for a long way there and could be dangerous here if that outing has brought him on. |
9/2 |
Verdict
Hipop Des Ongrais made it second time lucky over fences with his emphatic win Fontwell and is a big player again if he’s unfazed by this return to slower ground. Point and hurdle winner Mahon Point should have a future in this sphere, while there are several chase debutants who need watching in the market including Everything’Sontick and Dan Skelton’s Presenting Jeremy. However, the vote goes to CHANCEUX, who is unexposed at this trip and made a bold bid when a clear second on his chase debut at Uttoxeter last month.[David Moon]
