12:30 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (11/4 +45%) Operation Manna	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(4) Operation Manna 11/4, Returned from 8 months off to make a winning reappearance/handicap debut at Chepstow last season. Third on both completed starts later in the campaign. Clearly capable fresh and remains relatively unexposed after only 4 career starts. Not disgraced in March on latest start; no shock if he returns refreshed.
2	7 2nd (7) (16/1 -33%) Branson Missouri	16 16/1(-33%)	(7) Branson Missouri 16/1, Took his form up a level when landing brace of 2½m Worcester handicaps in the first half of last season. Off since finishing a distant fourth of 5 in C&D listed race in January. Might be best watched this time. Two 2m4f wins on soft last year; tailed off facing a stiff task over C&D in January latest.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +0%) Issam	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Issam 9/2, Successful twice over hurdles in France and overcame late mistakes to get off the mark for current connections at Exeter (18.5f, soft) when last seen in March. Likely to be thereabouts assuming he's fully tuned up on return (has gone well fresh previously). Back up 5lb after March win but may now be on the up and looks worth another go at 2m4f.
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 -57%) Kansas Du Berlais	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(5) Kansas Du Berlais 11/2, It all clicked for him with maiden/novice wins at Fontwell in the spring. Not so good on 2m course handicap debut on final start but worth another chance to show he's capable of better on return. Very mixed in his first British season but just a 4yo and better may well be forthcoming.
5th	8 5th (8) (3/1 +10%) Individualiste	3 3/1(+10%)	(8) Individualiste 3/1, Fair on the Flat in France and he got off the mark in good style for new yard in novice hurdle at Taunton (19f, heavy) in March 2022. First outing since when an encouraging fourth in 21.5f Newton Abbot handicap 22 days ago. Remains capable of better for top stable. 597 days off before creditable 4th on handicap debut (2m5f, heavy); may well build on that.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 -100%) Corey's Courage	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) Corey's Courage 14/1, Back on the up when scoring twice in handicap company in the spring. A 7 lb rise for winning a weak race at Ffos Las in May does mean she'll need a big career best to add to her tally on return, though. 5-10 over hurdles; 10l win in a five-runner race at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in May latest.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (11/2 +21%) Mamoon Star	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(6) Mamoon Star 11/2, Proved rather disappointing after winning a 2m Taunton novice last season but he got his career back on track with a tongue tie added (retained) when 13 lengths second of 9 in 2m Wincanton handicap on reappearance. Needs to show he can build on that now. Back with a creditable 2nd when tongue tied at Wincanton last month; needs a career best.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (40/1 -82%) Time To Tinker	40 40/1(-82%)	(3) Time To Tinker 40/1, Three-time winner for Paul Nicholls in 2021. More miss than hit since and a watching brief is the percentage call now setting out for a new stable after 6 months off. Sparked only once last term and below form in May; left Paul Nicholls for £19,000 in June.

LTO Selection:

12:30 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Kansas Du Berlais did well last season, with two wins from five starts after wind surgery, and is respected off 1lb lower than when last seen in a series final here in April. Corey's Courage was successful when last seen and a 7lb higher rating looks fair given her wide-margin victory that day. Nevertheless, OPERATION MANNA, who has won when fresh before, edges the vote on these terms.

Paul Nicholls and Freddie Gingell combined to win this race last year and may do so again with INDIVIDUALISTE, who shaped well on his recent return from a long absence and should be spot on now. Although Kansas du Berlais failed to fire in a handicap here at the end of last season he remains one who should have more to offer in this sphere and is second choice ahead of Issam.

Most have to be taken seriously but slight preference is for INIDIVIDUALISTE ahead of Kansas Du Berlais.

13:05 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (11/2 -214%) Le Patron	5.5 11/2(-214%)	(4) Le Patron 11/2, Fairly useful ex-French hurdles winner who looked a good prospect when easily going in at the first time of asking over fences in 4-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, good) 36 days ago. Player. Reappeared with runaway win in four-runner novice handicap chase at Fontwell (2m3f, good).
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +27%) Blow Your Wad	2 2/1(+27%)	(1) Blow Your Wad 2/1, Dual hurdles winner last season who resumed with a very good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 29 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut. Good second in a useful handicap hurdle at Chepstow (near 2m4f, heavy) four weeks ago.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +14%) Game Winner	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Game Winner 6/1, Fair form when fourth at Hereford only start in bumpers for Paul Nicholls and he showed himself to be a fairly useful hurdler after, scoring at Kempton (2m5f) in February. Considered now starting out in this sphere. Solid three-race campaign as novice hurdler; starts chase career with plenty of potential.
4	3 4th (3) (5/4 +44%) Henri The Second	1.25 5/4(+44%)	(3) Henri The Second 5/4, Useful in bumpers and he quickly reached a similar level over hurdles last term, winning a Grade 2 here in December. Returns on the back of a wind op and rates an interesting chase prospect for last year's winning yard. Had wind surgery in July; half-brother to the stable's smart Enrilo; still one to note.

LTO Selection:

13:05 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

BLOW YOUR WAD has been highly tried on a number of occasions and has acquitted himself admirably in the face of some stiff tests. With his sights lowered after a game second in a higher grade at Chepstow last month, the Tom Lacey-trained gelding has a lot going for him. Paul Nicholls sent out the winner of this race last year and his Henri The Second is another notable contender, along with Fontwell winner Le Patron.

Lots of potential on show, not least from HENRI THE SECOND who showed himsefl to be a useful winning hurdler last term and is faniced to make a successful start in the sphere for last year's winning yard. Le Patron impressed when a wide-margin scorer at Fontwell and rates a big threat, with chasing debutants Blow Your Wad and Game Winner not discounted either,

There's more for Le Patron to worry about in this field, most notably from BLOW YOUR WAD and Henri The Second.

13:40 Sandown Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (8/15 +42%) Southoftheborder	0.533333 8/15(+42%)	(6) Southoftheborder 8/15, Point winner who overcame inexperience to imake a successful debut in 7-runner bumper at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft) 8 months ago. Interesting recruit to this sphere. £145,000 buy after winning an Irish point; 11-8, comfortably won bumper at Ffos Las (good).
2	7 2nd (7) (11/2 -22%) Spirits Bay	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(7) Spirits Bay 11/2, Made it 2-3 in bumpers and looked a useful prospect when going in at Hereford in March. Commands plenty of respect now going over hurdles. All three starts were in bumpers on good to soft, twice winning well; one to note.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +0%) Classic Anthem	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Classic Anthem 5/1, Expensive recruit from the Irish pointing field who shaped well on his hurdling debut when second of 11 in novice (7/2) at Kempton (16f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Should have more to offer. Player. Irish point winner (£200,000 buy); 2nd at Kempton in May is the best hurdles form in this.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 -75%) Impact Du Bonheur	7 7/1(-75%)	(5) Impact Du Bonheur 7/1, Bought for €90,000 after winning the third of 3 bumper starts for P. Journiac but he came in a remote second of 7 in novice at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) on UK/hurdles debut. In excellent hands though and should do better after 8 months off. French bumper winner; 4-6 when second in maiden hurdle at Wincanton (2m4f) but beaten 26l.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 -52%) Too Much Hammer	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Too Much Hammer 50/1, Hooded, only fifth of 7 in bumper at Ludlow (13/8) on NH debut 32 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with headgear dispensed with and clearly thought capable of better. Fifth of seven in bumper at Ludlow (2m, good) in October when 13-8 favourite; hood off.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 -40%) Stenatee	14 14/1(-40%)	(8) Stenatee 14/1, Ran out a wide-margin winner of 17f minor event at Angouleme on sole Flat outing for A. Chaille-Chaille in March, 2022. Has had a breathing operation ahead of hurdling/stable debut. Well worth a market check. Won a Flat conditions race (2m1f) in France in March 2022 by 15l; wind op; now hooded.
7th	3 7th (3) (200/1 -33%) Double Powerful	200 200/1(-33%)	(3) Double Powerful 200/1, Third in only point. Refused to settle when seventh at Fontwell on hurdles debut before badly hampered after 4 out when pulled up at Fakenham following month. Hooded for first time and may still do better. Third in his only Irish point but tailed off in a novice hurdle and pulled up in a maiden.
8th	4 8th (4) (200/1 -100%) Eloso	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Eloso 200/1, Fair 1m4f Flat winner for Gay Kelleway. Goes hurdling now for his new yard after 7 months off and market can prove a good indicator. Fair winner on turf and AW at up to 1m4f in a 36-race Flat career for other trainers.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (200/1 +0%) Crookbarrow	200 200/1(+0%)	(2) Crookbarrow 200/1, Well held sole start in bumpers and was completing for the first time in three runs over hurdles when seventh of eight at Plumpton (2m) 20 days ago. Needs to build on it in retained cheekpieces. Second in a point bumper but he has not accomplished much in his four runs under rules.

LTO Selection:

13:40 Sandown Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Having won a point-to-point before making a successful debut under Rules in a Ffos Las bumper in March, SOUTHOFTHEBORDER has the potential to flourish under the tutelage of Nicky Henderson. Sure to have been well schooled for his hurdling debut, another bold showing is expected from the son of Leading Light. Impact Du Bonheur, who landed a bumper in France before joining Paul Nicholls, is another to consider, while Classic Anthem completes the shortlist.

The market should reveal plenty here but Nicky Henderson's SOUTHOFTHEBORDER is taken to retain his unbeaten record in points/bumpers and make a winning start over timber. Classic Anthem is feared most on the back of his promising hurdling bow at Kempton, although ex-French recruits Impact du Bonheur and Stenatee both bring potential and need considering too, especially if the betting vibes are positive.

Preference is for SOUTHOFTHEBORDER, who seemed have loads of scope when he won at Ffos Las, with Spirits Bay second on the list.

14:15 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 15f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 -13%) Xcitations	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(1) Xcitations 9/2, Upped his game further last term with victories at Doncaster and this C&D around the turn of the year. Mixed record after but possibly needed the run after 7 months off at Kempton 3 weeks ago. 9l win over C&D (soft) in January; considered off just 1lb higher today.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 +50%) Western Zephyr	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(3) Western Zephyr 5/2, Point/bumper winner who won 3 wins of his 6 starts over hurdles last season. Decent start over fences off what looked a stiff opening mark when third at Carlisle on return and entitled to build on that. Made a solid reappearance over hurdles last month and has a shout if adapting to fences.
3	4 3rd (4) (20/1 -67%) Fast Buck	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Fast Buck 20/1, Took advantage of reduced mark when recording a first win over fences at Lingfield in December. Similar form when runner-up next 2 starts and last 2 runs 6 months apart probably best excused. Pulled up in April and tailed off facing a stiff task when he returned from wind surgery.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 -175%) Give Me A Moment	33 33/1(-175%)	(2) Give Me A Moment 33/1, Useful chaser who won 5 times during 2021/22 and outclassed the opposition in a brace of novice hurdles last summer. Built on comeback run when decent fourth back over fences at Worcester but disappointed at Uttoxeter when last seen in July. Good-ground specialist who did very well in spring/summer 2022.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/4 +10%) Jetronic	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(5) Jetronic 9/4, Fair form in a couple of juvenile hurdles and took a step forward on chasing debut when winning at Compiegne. Positive start for this yard when second of 4 in novice chase at Cheltenham (15.9f, good, 10/3) on return 16 days ago and needs considering off a fair opening mark. Tongue strap back on. 4yo; no match for the winner at Cheltenham (2m, good) but that was a solid British debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (11/4 -10%) In The Air	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(6) In The Air 11/4, Dual juvenile hurdle winner in 2021/22 who got back to winning ways in a Fontwell handicap (19.2f) in May. Excellent start over fences when second at Huntingdon on return 2 weeks ago, clear of rest, and surely has more to offer as a chaser. Made his chase debut at Huntingdon 13 days ago, showing improved form in second of six.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

JETRONIC isn't the easiest to weigh up on his handicap bow after being brushed aside by the impressive My Mate Mozzie in a novice chase at Cheltenham. Nevertheless, Paul Nicholls' four-year-old receives a handy 8lb weight-for-age allowance which may be enough for him to land the spoils. In The Air performed with credit on his seasonal reappearance when runner-up at Huntingdon and is feared most, ahead of Western Zephyr.

IN THE AIR shaped well sent chasing after 6 months off when second at Huntingdon 2 weeks ago and it surely won't be long before he opens his account in this sphere. Jetronic made a positive start for this yard when runner-up at Cheltenham and is another to consider.

Jetronic and In The Air are the youngest in this and bring clear potential. However, XCITATIONS may prove better handicapped.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (10/3 +39%) Arqoob	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(7) Arqoob 10/3, Useful handicapper on the level for William Jarvis. Has made a positive start over hurdle too, landing Huntingdon novice and good Sandown handicap third in the spring. Fit from the Flat and shaped quite nicely back with Lucy Wadham when third at Plumpton 3 weeks ago. Fit off the Flat when a 5l third at Plumpton three weeks ago.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 +22%) Kaleb	7 7/1(+22%)	(3) Kaleb 7/1, Novice season tailed off quite badly but right back on song when finding only one too good on last month's reappearance at Plumpton back at 2m. Needs to travel with a bit more zest in what looks a slightly stronger race. Pleasing second on Plumpton return and a stiffer stamina test here won't faze him.
3	8 3rd (8) (25/1 -127%) Iontach Cheval	25 25/1(-127%)	(8) Iontach Cheval 25/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who recorded a career best when making a successful reappearance at Warwick a year ago. Labouring a long way out from his revised mark at Cheltenham a month later and off the track since, but fresh could be the time to catch him. Low-mileage 7yo who has won after a break in the past and is not handicapped out of it.
4	4 4th (4) (22/1 -38%) Totterdown	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Totterdown 22/1, Back with former yard and won 6-runner handicap after 21 months off at Leicester in November, responding well. Brushed aside in a deeper race at Chepstow 3 months later but stepped up on that when fifth in 8-runner event at Newbury when last seen in March. Not getting any younger but capable fresh. Record when fresh heightens interest but he's by some way the oldest of these.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -10%) Aurigny Mill	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Aurigny Mill 11/1, Left previous efforts well behind to get off the mark in 14-runner novice at Taunton in March. Sound second under a penalty over same C&D a month later and now has attentions switched to handicaps. Beaten by Iliko D'Olivate in his final novice but a 7lb pull makes it interesting.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 -140%) Legendary Day	6 6/1(-140%)	(9) Legendary Day 6/1, Made winning start on yard/hurdles bow in a novice a year ago and has won 4 times on the level since. Looks very well treated back over hurdles so the one to beat with Hughes booked. Lightly raced hurdler who might be on a good mark given his useful Flat ability.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -67%) Galahad Threepwood	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Galahad Threepwood 20/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat for Mick Channon who opened his account over hurdles in a 19.4f Doncaster handicap in March. Fell heavily at Warwick next time and might have been amiss to back out of things so swiftly at Cheltenham on final outing. Flat background and questionable how much improvement he has in him.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (4/1 +0%) Iliko D'olivate	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Iliko D'olivate 4/1, Fair form in 2 starts on the Flat and built on his hurdles debut second at Compiegne when going one better in ready fashion at Taunton in January. Back on song returned to a right-handed track when doubling tally at Taunton in April and he's in top hands ahead of this return/handicap debut. Dual novice winner; further progress needed to defy this mark on handicap debut.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (4/1 +56%) Fourofakind	4 4/1(+56%)	(10) Fourofakind 4/1, Fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and has made a sound start to his hurdle career for new stable, placed twice before landing the odds at Haydock in March. Low-key start to handicap career a month later, not looking an easy ride on either occasion. Headgear removed for reappearance. Ex-Flat; still unexposed as a hurdler (maiden winner) and returns from wind surgery.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 -9%) Jupiter Du Gite	12 12/1(-9%)	(1) Jupiter Du Gite 12/1, Caused a major upset when making all on British/hurdles debut at Newbury in December but has proved far too headstrong since. Switches to a handicap with hood back on and hopes pinned on him calming down. Talented but very headstrong and will need to give himself a chance by settling.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

LEGENDARY DAY has found some improvement on the Flat since having cheekpieces reapplied and that headgear may help as the five-year-old bids to gain a second success in this sphere. Iliko D'olivate regained the winning thread when making all at Taunton in April and isn't taken lightly on his seasonal/handicap bow. He may give the selection most to think about, although Arqoob also warrants consideration.

LEGENDARY DAY stood up well to an aggressive campaign on the level and the assessor may have underestimated him in this sphere. With conditions to suit, he's the most persuasive candidate, for all Arqoob and Ilko d'Olivate are interesting contenders.

Most have chances but LEGENDARY DAY (nap) is a useful Flat horse who should be on a good mark and these conditions won't trouble him.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/4 +50%) Good Boy Bobby	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(4) Good Boy Bobby 5/4, Successful twice at Wetherby during 2021/22 campaign, including the Rowland Meyrick, and first win since when capitalised on a falling mark in veterans race at Chepstow on return last month, leading again dying strides. Remains of interest in these events. Overcame a late mistake to win at Chepstow and just 3lb higher for this.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 +17%) De Rasher Counter	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) De Rasher Counter 10/1, Landed Ladbrokes Trophy in 2019 and showed he retains ability late last year, runner-up in veterans' company at Warwick (3m). Has struggled since, however, including on return. Headgear now applied. Laboured return at Chepstow when behind two of these; opposable after that.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 -36%) Cyclop	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(5) Cyclop 15/2, Rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick of veterans' handicaps last spring. Failed to complete next 2 starts but produced a promising comeback display at Perth and built on that when 2¼ lengths third of 9 to Good Boy Bobby at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) 30 days ago. 3 lb better off with winner here. Stays all day and wouldn't want this to turn tactical, but hard to rule out.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 -43%) Larry	5 5/1(-43%)	(3) Larry 5/1, Decent strike rate over the years and jumped much better than usual when winning at Ascot on last season's return. Decent placed efforts last 2 starts in similar events in the spring so not taken lightly after 7 months off. Started last season in good form and ended it well; dual course winner.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 -56%) Lord Du Mesnil	7 7/1(-56%)	(1) Lord Du Mesnil 7/1, None too reliable these days but he's smart when on-song and produced 3 good runner-up efforts last season. Can go well fresh and capable of making his presence felt. Best at Haydock but he was runner-up three times elsewhere last season; chance.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (5/1 +69%) Elegant Escape	5 5/1(+69%)	(6) Elegant Escape 5/1, One-time very smart chaser but has lost his way. Plenty to prove on return. Best days behind him but handicapped accordingly and not discounted.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Good Boy Bobby may prove popular here after an all-out success at Chepstow last month, but he was only a little over two lengths ahead of CYCLOP that day and might struggle to confirm the form on 3lb worse terms. Badly hampered that day by a faller, the selection did remarkably well to finish as close as he did and he could strike with a bit more luck in running. Larry could prove best of the rest.

GOOD BOY BOBBY capitalised on a falling mark on his first go in a veterans event at Chepstow on return last month and should go well again. Cyclop was only 2¼ lengths behind the selection that day and is 3 lb better off with him now, so rates the main threat ahead of Lord du Mesnil.

It could pay to chance a trouble-free round of jumping from LARRY who is very capable off this mark when it all comes together.

Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (2m-2¾m winner) Tatenen. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and worth a chance to make a winning start. 85,000euros 3yo; one to note from his hugely powerful yard.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 -157%) Diamond Koda	9 9/1(-157%)	(1) Diamond Koda 9/1, Half-brother to a winning hurdler and clear of remainder when runner-up at Market Rasen 6 months ago. Can feature if he reproduces that form. 50-1 at Market Rasen (good to soft) in May but gave the 1-3 Henderson winner a big scare.

Dam (h116), 2¼m-21f hurdle winner (stayed 3m), also 17f-21.6f winner on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Field Commander. Not an obvious sort on paper. £20,000 3yo; third foal; dam was a fair 2m1f/2m5f Flat and 2m2f-2m5f hurdle winner.
4	4 4th (4) (11/4 -10%) Martin Plage	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(4) Martin Plage 11/4, Easy point winner who made a solid start under Rules when third at Cheltenham last month. This race isn't as strong and there should be more to come, so big player. 9-1 at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) 15 days ago when third of 15 showed plenty of promise.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 +40%) Jack Sparrow Grey	6 6/1(+40%)	(3) Jack Sparrow Grey 6/1, Kap Rock gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Golden Boy Grey and bumper winner Onewayortother. Dam 11.5f winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Half-brother to four winners, one in a bumper; trainer won a bumper with newcomer in April.

The first (Wetherby third) of his two efforts this March/April earns him a second look.

16:00 Sandown NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Diamond Koda almost pulled off a 50/1 shock when runner-up at Market Rasen in May, though the gut feeling is that he may have to settle for a place again. Easy point-to-point winner Martin Plage ran well when third at Cheltenham last month and he may prove the biggest danger to exciting newcomer TOUQUET. The Paul Nicholls-trained Kapgarde gelding cost 185,000 euros last year and is held in high regard by his handler. He is related to plenty of winners in France.

TOUQUET is well bred and cost plenty as a store, so he may well be able to make a successful start for all that Martin Plage is of interest after a positive Rules debut at Cheltenham. Diamond Koda is another one to consider.

Nicholls-trained Touquet has to be given great respect but MARTIN PLAGE's Cheltenham third earns the vote.
