Kripticjim
Bumper-winner KRIPTICJIM showed plenty to work on when second on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago and representing an in-form stable, improvement should be forthcoming. He's marginally preferred to Loriko, who is slightly more exposed, while Reckless Spending also warrants attention given his sales price and stable.

5-y-o who progressed with each outing in bumpers, staying on strongly to land 8-runner contest at Exeter (16.7f) in February. Promising start over hurdles when second to a useful one upped to 19.4f at Chepstow a fortnight and he's open to progress for in-form yard.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 3f 100yGood to SoftHurdle2/9Exeter2m 161yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper1/8Exeter2m 161ySoftBumper2/8Newton Abbot2m 167yHeavy (Soft in places)Bumper4/10- 3LorikoJ: Harry SkeltonT: Dan Skelton232-33Age 46/46/413/8

Showed a fairly useful level of form on his hurdling bow when second at Auteuil in March. Easy to back and may have needed first run for new yard going without usual tongue tie at Uttoxeter last month and then fares about as well as could be expected when third of 5 at Cheltenham 4 weeks ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 87yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/5Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yGoodHurdle3/10Auteuil2m 1f 88ySoftHurdle2/9Lignieres1m 3f 205yVery softBumper3/10Le Mans1m 7f 200yBumper2/6- 2Reckless SpendingJ: Nico de BoinvilleT: Nicky Henderson3Age 54/14/17/2
