Count Of Vendome
Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, COUNT OF VENDOME getting the nod to go one better than on hurdling debut having snatched defeat from the jaws of victory late at Bangor in November. Stanners Glen was held back by inexperience when sent off a well-backed favourite at Taunton 8 weeks ago, but he looks most threatening here, with Dan Skelton's once-raced French Flat recruit King Esoteric completing the shortlist.

Dual bumper winner from 3 starts who should have made a successful hurdling debut/return at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 3 months ago, 3 lengths ahead and in control when losing all momentum last (traded 1.01 in-running). Fancied to make amends with improvement on the cards.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBangor-on-dee2m 145ySoftHurdle2/9Catterick Bridge1m 7f 156yGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper1/5Cheltenham2m 87yGood (Good to Soft in places)Bumper3/6Sedgefield2m 178yGoodBumper1/10- 8Stanners GlenJ: Bryan CarverT: Harry Fry13Age 72/12/115/8

Point winner who made a successful bumper debut at Tipperary for Robert Tyner last May. Popular in the market but held back by inexperience on yard/hurdling bow (sold for £78,000) on return at Taunton 8 weeks ago (tongue tied and had wind op) but seems sure to do better with that under his belt.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 104yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/14Tipperary2m 2fGood to YieldingBumper1/12- 12King EsotericJ: Tristan DurrellT: Dan SkeltonAge 44/14/17/2

Fair form when fifth in newcomers race at Saint-Cloud last spring, only outing on Flat. Interesting recruit for the powerful Dan Skelton yard (gets handy 4-y-o allowance) and market support would look significant on return/hurdles bow.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSaint-cloud7f 210yGood to softFlat5/9- 5Not At That PriceJ: James BowenT: Charlie Longsdon44-26Age 616/116/114/1

Fair form when fourth in a couple of bumpers last spring and, following 6 months off, again ran well from the front when second of 10 at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) in October. Little encouragement to glean from his hurdling bow at Ludlow last month and now drops back in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLudlow2m 5f 55yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/13Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yGood to SoftBumper2/10Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper4/6Warwick2mGoodBumper4/11- 7River RibbleJ: Sean QuinlanT: Lizzie QuinlanWeight 11st 4lbs25/125/122/1

Shaped with plenty of promise in 2 bumpers last summer. Tailed off in an AW maiden at Wolverhampton in December and would have done little better had he completed on hurdling debut at Taunton last month.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 104yGoodHurdleF/9Wolverhampton1m 4f 51yStandardFlat10/12Newton Abbot2m 167yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper2/5Stratford-on-avon2m 70yGood to FirmBumper2/6- 3Luckie DevilJ: Callum BewleyT: Nicky Richards2-4PAge 650/150/166/1

Runner-up in Newcastle bumper last March (travelled well but no match for now useful winner) and possible excuses for weak finish at Kelso next time (got loose beforehand). However, he showed nothing fitted with a hood on hurdling bow/return at Ayr recently so looks an easy swerve.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr2mHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/10Kelso2m 51yGood (Good to Firm in places)Bumper4/6Newcastle2m 190yGood (Good to Firm in places)Bumper2/6- 11Uptown LassJ: Charlie HammondT: Nick Kent836-4Age 650/150/166/1

Little promise in bumpers for Nicky Henderson but showed a bit sent hurdling after 6 months off when fourth of 6 in novice at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) in November.
