Showed fairly useful form over hurdles for Willie Mullins without managing to add to his French wins; beaten favourite switched to fences last time (sold for 64,000gns since) but may improve with that experience under his belt and is interesting on debut for Faye Bramley, who has done well with recruits from other yards (including ex-Closutton runners).

Two wins over hurdles in France on heavy ground; yet to hit the target for this yard; beaten off 136 in handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Punchestown on last two starts; should make a chaser on breeding, but has to prove he acts on good ground.

La Pinsonniere

11st 10lb

J: Nico de Boinville

T: Nicky Henderson

Sole win came in a Huntingdon 2m maiden hurdle in January last year, but she has a string of respectable placed efforts since and wasn't beaten through lack of stamina on her first try beyond 3m latest; appears to be on a tough mark but may improve for going back over fences, having run well in France in March 2024 on her sole previous chase start; handles most ground.

J: Nico de Boinville

Consistent sort but she's won just once (a maiden last January) from 13 starts; rallied into a remote second here (good) last time, so perhaps a first attempt beyond that 2m5f will help the cause.

Bids for a four-timer after two wins over hurdles and a chase success in between; had nothing in hand last time at Worcester (2m7f, good) and he'll need another career best off 4lb higher.

T: Dan Skelton

Low-mileage 7yo is thriving of late and he readily followed up his hurdling success at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to firm) in 2m7f handicap chase here (good) two weeks ago; up 8lb but still looks the one to beat back hurdling.

T: Ben Pauling

Lacked fluency on chase debut but jumped better and beat Grand Clermont kept to Worcester (2m7f, good) last time; unexposed in this sphere and remains favourably treated on best hurdles form, which features a win off 1lb higher; major claims.

J: Beau Morgan

T: Ben Pauling

Lacked fluency and was ultimately well beaten over C&D (good) on chasing debut a fortnight ago, after a layoff, but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance and he ought to cope better than some of these if the ground softens; can be dangerous if in a better rhythm today.
