Hansard (G)
Useful handicap hurdler who stepped forward from his seasonal/chase debut when comfortably landing the odds in 3-runner maiden at Lingfield in December. Improved again when second to Mambonumberfive in Grade 2 Wayward Lad at Kempton over C…

Jax Junior (G)
[T]
Three-time novice hurdle winner last season and has shown even better form when notching the same number of wins over fences this time round, easily taking Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton (20.5f, good) last time. He's smart but this looks an ult…

Kopek Des Bordes (G)
[H]
Winner of the Supreme on this day 12 months ago. Cruised clear in a Navan maiden chase on reappearance in November. His absence since (had surgery to remove a bone chip from his knee) means he lacks chase experience but he could be talente…

Lulamba (G)
FAV
One of the leading juvenile hurdlers last season and has rapidly developed into an even better chaser, bolting up in Sandown Grade 1 novice before readily dispatching more experienced rivals in the Grade 2 Game Spirit at Newbury last month…

Steel Ally (G)
[T]
Very useful hurdler who has taken it up another notch since chasing, winning all 3 starts, including Grade 2s at Ascot (19f, good to soft) and Warwick (2m, soft). Looks capable of even better.

Kargese (M)
[H]
Smart hurdler who has quickly shown herself to be even better over fences, winning a Leopardstown maiden over Christmas before going down by only a neck to Romeo Coolio in the Irish Arkle there last month. Needs considering in receipt of w…
