Innamorato (G)
[P]
Off the mark at the third time of asking for Paul Nicholls with a quite stylish success in 8-runner novice hurdle at Taunton (19f, soft) 15 days ago, seeing of odds-on favourite. Manner of that victory suggests there could be more to come.

Mojito Des Mottes (G)
[T]
Winner on hurdling debut in France but yet to match that form in two starts for new yard, tiring after racing freely/jumping left at Market Rasen in December. May do better going this way around and looks worth another chance following a b…

Bowling Shane (G)
Fair maiden on Flat (should be suited by further than 1½m) but well held on handicap debut/final start for Kevin Philippart de Foy in October. Changed hands for £28,000 and market may prove best guide on stable/hurdle debut.

R Patrick | C Boultbee-Brooks | 4 | 69.9 kg |

Ettore (G)
Well-related colt who showed fair form on Flat (will be suited by at least 1½m) for Roger Varian last summer and looks sure to be of interest on hurdle debut for leading yard.

N de Boinville | N J Henderson | 4 | 69.9 kg |

| 5th | 5 | — |
Laplander (G)
Fair maiden on Flat who went backwards from his hurdling debut here when well beaten fourth over C&D earlier this month. Likely a handicap project now.

Dylan Johnston | T Ward | 4 | 69.9 kg |

Love You Back (G)
FAV
Improving middle-distance winner on Flat who made an encouraging start over hurdles when second in 14-runner juvenile at Warwick in November. That race has produced winners and he should have more to offer.

Mistral St Georges (G)
Ivanhowe gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Georges Saint, stays 3¼m, and modest hurdler/fair chase winner Kobalt St Georges. Dam, half-sister to useful hurdle winner/smart chase winner at 2m Bon Papa. Pedigree suggests he'll pr…

Rogue Justice (G)
[P]
Fair stayer on Flat who got off the mark in handicap at Chelmsford last month. Sean Bowen aboard for hurdles bow but he's probably one for the longer-term, unless the market suggests otherwise.

S Bowen | Jack Jones | 4 | 69.9 kg |

Cecilia Star (F)
Fair 10f Flat winner who looks the part for jumping and shaped with promise when considerately handled fifth in 16-runner mares' maiden at Kempton on debut earlier this month. Open to improvement.
