Homme Dun Soir

J: Ben Jones

T: Billy Aprahamian

Has three wins over fences but after finishing last of four at Hereford last month, he exploited a lower hurdles mark when successful at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; needs to use that momentum back over the larger obstacles.

T: Billy Aprahamian

Better known as a chaser now but was third in a better race than this when reverting to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy; also suited by good) last month, and subsequent 32l defeat over fences came in a good-quality contest; must be considered.

Seven wins in all, most recently at Market Rasen and Ludlow this time last year; didn't shape too badly over hurdles at Warwick (jumped right) last time, and this return to fences on a right-handed track should suit him; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Acts on any ground; record of 4-4 since joining new stable comprises two wins apiece over fences and hurdles; gives the impression she'll cope with new mark, which is 10lb higher than the last twice; respected.

Bagged a four-timer (around 2m) over hurdles/fences last winter; not at her best of late though and finished a remote second in 2m Hexham seller three weeks ago on her final run for Jennie Candlish; more needed in refitted cheekpieces for her new handler.

Four wins over hurdles and fences in 2025 (about 2m2f; ground ranging from good to soft); not in the same form since returning from a layoff in January, including in a Stratford seller in March, but this is easier and she's a viable option.

Form & Verdict
Final leg of hat-trick saw him score easily, albeit having been helped by the favourite's early departure, over C&D (off just 1lb lower) in December; possibilities provided he's back in similar form.

Flat/hurdles/chase winner in France but losing spell goes back to 2021; 0-5 for current yard and badly lacks recent match practice having been absent for 18 months; market may prove helpful.
