Henri The Second
HENRI THE SECOND boasts a fine record over hurdles here, only narrowly failing to record a third victory earlier this month. With the step back up in trip very much in his favour, he makes plenty of appeal. Hartington and Titan Discovery have both performed well in similar events this term and rate the principal dangers.

Goes well here and returned to form when close second of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (19.8f, good to soft) 28 days ago.

Irish point winner who showed fairly-useful form as novice last season and made a successful return on handicap debut at Windsor (24f) in November. Backed that up with creditable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (25f, soft) last month and is likely to give another good account here.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosCarlisle3m 1fSoftHurdle3/6Windsor3mGood to SoftHurdle1/5Perth2m 7f 207yGood to SoftHurdle9/14Haydock Park3m 58yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/6Lingfield Park2m 3f 110ySoftHurdle1/12- 6HartingtonJ: Jack TudorE: Joe Tizzard122-120Âge 77/17/113/2

Made winning return at Carlisle in November and improved again, upped in trip, when narrowly denied in Betfair Stayers' handicap at Haydock (24.3f) later that month. Likely undone by lesser stamina test at Windsor latest and better expected here.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosWindsor2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle11/12Haydock Park3m 58yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/17Carlisle2m 3f 218ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/11Windsor2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/10Sandown Park1m 7f 216ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle2/5- 3Titan DiscoveryJ: Liam HarrisonE: Robbie Llewellyn6/71-01Âge 88/18/115/2

Impressive winner of 2m5f Grade 2 Hyde at Cheltenham as novice in 2023. Had issues since but he's headed back in the right direction in recent starts, latest when creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Windsor (24f, soft) 13 days ago.
