B Marie Lapios Baudry & Sophie Lapios

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest hurdler who ran with credit when third in a novice at Chepstow on final outing for Harry Derham 63 days ago. Needs to improve if he’s to open his account. TFR###!! BHA87

B Eithne Magee

TIMEFORM VIEW Third in a point and showed a bit on first Rules outing over hurdles in January. Failed to build on that but has joined a shrewd yard (from Paul Hennessy), so worth a market check making British debut after 111 days off TFR###!! BHA-
