Jordan Nailor (3) J

O Teme Valley

Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cheltenham T B Joe Fogarty Agetur (UK) Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful hurdler who left the form of his chasing debut behind when runner-up in handicap at Ffos Las in November. More to come with cheekpieces on, so worth chancing. TFRHHHHH BHA126

2 FAIRWAY FREDDY (IRE) (25) 141P-33 D 8 11-12

Br B g Elusive Pimpernel (USA) - Silent Supreme (IRE) James Davies J

O New Gold Dream

Nick Gifford, Findon T B Pat and Oliver McCarthy Avtrade Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Three-time winner last term and right back on his game with a run behind him when third at Kempton 25 days ago. Should give another good account. TFRHHHII BHA123 (-1)

3 DESQUE DE L’ISLE (FR) (26) 2/113P-1 D 8 11-9

Br B g Special Kaldoun (IRE) - Naiade de L’Isle (FR) Ned Fox (10) J

O The Hon Lady Heber-Percy

Venetia Williams, Hereford T B Mme Veronique Sayet Faucets Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Still relatively lightly raced over fences and returned with an improved showing to score readily at Ffos Las in October. Form has been boosted by the runner-up since, so likely to put up a bold bid. TFRHHHHI BHA120

4 EARLY DU LEMO (FR) (288) U1//2F45- D 8 11-9

Br Gr g Early March - Kiswa (FR) Niall Houlihan (5) J

O Mr Ashley Head

Gary Moore, Horsham T B Mr Maurice Le Floch K M Elite Products Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful hurdler who was runner-up in this race off the same mark on last year’s reappearance, so he’s one to consider back from 9 months off with his stable in good order. TFRHHHII BHA120

5 OUT ON THE TEAR (IRE) (44) 6/3212-4 D

Br B g Arcadio (GER) - Madame Coco (IRE) O Sam Allwood Racing Club

7 11-4

Charlie Todd (3) J Sam Allwood, Whitchurch T B Seamus Cooney Allwood Horse Transport S TIMEFORM VIEW Made a bright start over fences last season, off the mark at Catterick almost a year ago, trip too far next time, and should come on for his return at Worcester in October. Definite player. TFRHHHHI BHA115

6 BOAGRIUS (IRE) (126) 500-452 D

Br Ch g Beneficial - Greenhall Rambler (IRE)

9 11-4

Thomas Doggrell (7) J

O The MerseyClyde Partnership

Tom George, Slad T B James Mulhall HBA Media S TIMEFORM VIEW Dual chase scorer who has fallen in the weights and produced better efforts the last twice. Has been off 4 months and this is a bit more competitive, though. TFRHHHII BHA115

7 DEMOPOLIS (FR) (44) 4/2142-P D

Br B g Poliglote - Princess Demut (GER) O Mr John P. McManus

7 11-2

Sean Houlihan (3) J Philip Hobbs, Minehead T

B Larissa Kneip & Sandrine Grevet TIMEFORM VIEW Hurdles/chase winner who was edged out close home from 3lb lower mark in this sphere at Fontwell (17.7f) in March. Seemingly not 100% when pulled up on return at Worcester and had wind op since. TFRHHIII BHA113

Br Ch g It’s Gino (GER) - Delightful Sofie (GER)

Jamie Moore J

O Chris Stedman & Mark Albon

Gary Moore, Horsham T B Stall 5-Stars K M Elite Products Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Bounced back in changed headgear to win handicap chase at Fontwell in October. Underlined inconsistency with a poor run at Kempton last time, though. Blinkers are now back on. TFRHHIII BHA113

Br B m Mount Nelson - Early Evening

Page Fuller J O Miss E. J. Tanner David Weston, West Overton T B Lakin Bloodstock, Hillard Bloodstock & Trading Ltd TIMEFORM VIEW Finally opened chase account at Stratford in August and subsequently followed up at Worcester a fortnight later. Has failed to beat a rival on both subsequent outings, though. TFRHIIII BHA108

DECLARED RUNNERS 9 2020: DAREBIN (GER) 8 10 11 Jamie Moore 5-1 (Gary Moore) 6 ran

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No. 1. Blinkers worn by No. 8. Tongue Strap worn by No. 6, 7, 9. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 9. Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 7. Stewards Note: EARLY DU LEMO: Following its run on 18/2/2021 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe. DAREBIN: Following its run on 8/11/2021 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run. Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Desque de L’Isle (FR), 7-2 One True King (IRE), 7-1 Out On The Tear (IRE), 8-1 Early du Lemo (FR), 9-1 Boagrius (IRE), 11-1 Fairway Freddy (IRE), 16-1 Darebin (GER), 20-1 Demopolis (FR), 33-1 Admiral’s Sunset (GB)

PLAY SMARTER ONE TRUE KING arrives on the back of an encouraging second at Ffos Las and is open to improvement as a chaser, so he gets the narrow vote ahead of Desque de L’Isle, who made an easy winning return at the same course. Out On The Tear remains with potential in this sphere and should strip fitter for his reappearance, so he’s also on the radar.
