Kabral Du Mathan
It was hardly a strong field KABRAL DU MATHAN dispatched in the Relkeel but he could easily have won by a good bit further had his rider desired and is very much the one to beat with the step up to 3m likely to be within range. French Ship wasn't seen to best effect in the Lanzarote at Kempton on his most recent outing and remains open to improvement, with Lud'or another interesting contender up in grade.

Progressive around 2m for Paul Nicholls and took it up another notch for new yard after a breathing operation when easily winning 19f handicap here on reappearance. Had plenty in hand when following up in the Relkeel at Cheltenham and probably hasn't finished improving yet. Likely to stay 3m.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 56yGoodHurdle1/6Haydock Park2m 2f 191yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/9Ayr2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/12Windsor2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/14Ascot1m 7f 152yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/12- 4French ShipJ: Lorcan WilliamsT: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White41-F117Age 65/15/111/2

Proved a different proposition when making all in 2m4f Bangor handicap on return in November and has confirmed that improvement with good placed efforts in competitive handicaps at Newbury and Winsor since.

Successful twice last season and took advantage of some below-par rivals when bagging 5-runner listed event at Doncaster in December, going with enthusiasm.
