Mondo Man
MONDO MAN would have been an easier winner of the Imperial Cup but for Caoilin Quinn losing his irons after an awkward landing at the last and there's a possibility even a 10 lb rise could underestimate this 5-y-o who was smart on the Flat in France earlier in his career. Serious Challenge shaped very well in the Morebattle at Kelso and is feared most ahead of Helnwein, who has shown he has what it takes to go close in a good 2m handicap. Indemnity completes the shortlist.

Smart on the Flat in France (purchased for €520,000) and it's really clicked with him over hurdles in recent months, following C&D maiden win with an impressive front-running performance in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft). Raised 10 lb but could still be ahead of the handicapper.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 216ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle1/18Plumpton1m 7f 195ySoftHurdle1/7Ascot1m 7f 157yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/13Lingfield Park2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/5Chester1m 5f 84yGoodFlat4/6- 7IndemnityJ: Ben JonesT: Emma Lavelle1-11234Age 69/211/25/1

Winner on the Flat for Roger Varian and successful 3 times over hurdles for Emma Lavelle in 2025. Also good placed efforts in 2m handicaps at Ascot and Newbury (form worked out well) in November but ended the year with a lesser run at Kempton over Christmas. Freshened up since.

Strong-travelling sort who finished second in the Swinton at Haydock and Greatwood at Cheltenham last year. Another good effort when second of 7 at Newbury (2m, good) last month and first-time cheekpieces won't need to give him much extra.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 69yGood to SoftHurdle2/7Ascot1m 7f 157yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/13Cheltenham2m 87ySoftHurdle2/18Haydock Park1m 7f 144yGoodHurdle2/16Chepstow2m 11yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/5- 1Serious ChallengeJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Fergal O'Brien14-4P12Age 66/17/113/2

Borderline smart on Flat in Ireland and has won 4 times since switching to hurdles for Fergal O'Brien, including a 2m Haydock handicap just after Christmas. Improved again when second of 17 in Morebattle at Kelso 5 weeks ago, impressing with his rapid forward move from the rear.

Three-time winner on the Flat who got off the mark over hurdles in a 2m Stratford novice last summer. Runner-up in a C&D handicap in the autumn and matched that form when third over 2m at Fakenham last month.

Won a 2m Wincanton novice in November and followed up in 2½m Musselburgh handicap on New Year's Day. Has recorded 3 creditable efforts in defeat over 21f at Kempton since. Back down in trip.

Resumed his progress after 5 months off when cosily bagging 5-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (17f, good to soft) in September.

Three-time hurdle winner from the front for the Skeltons in 2025. Below par on first 2 starts back from a break in February but took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 in 2m Stratford handicap last month.
