KIENTZHEIM is from the family of 2020 Champion Hurdle winner Epatante, who J P McManus also acquired from Armand Lefeuvre after winning 2 French bumpers. That top-class mare also made a successful start to her hurdle over this C&D and this 4-y-o is taken to do likewise, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Nap Hand s another interesting recruit to hurdles and is second choice ahead of Dan Skelton's Beau Quali.

    Dual bumper winner in France for Armand Lefeuvre at the start of 2024. Very interesting hurdle newcomer with market confidence likely significant.

    Verdict
    Runner-up in a juvenile hurdle in France in March (sole start for David Cottin). Filled the same position at Chepstow on first start for Dan Skelton and ran to a fair level again when fourth at Stratford at the end of October. Freshened up since.

    Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m), winning twice this autumn. Should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

    Verdict
    Fair Flat winner and ran to a similar level when second of 8 on Ludlow hurdle debut for new trainer Kieran Burke 31 days ago. Will almost certainly require a bigger performance to go one better here, though. Hooded first time.

    Won a Newcastle bumper for Thomas Gallagher in January 2023. Absent since but still needs checking out in the betting on hurdle debut for a leading new stable with a tongue tie added.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful on the Flat, recording a hat-trick of low-grade handicaps at up to 1½m in October. Found a listed novice too hot to handle on his Sandown hurdle debut 19 days ago but could make more of an impact with his sights lowered now.

    Verdict
    Showed a fair level of ability when runner-up in 2m Sandown maiden on only his second hurdle start but he'll need to step up a good deal on that form to go one better here.

    Verdict
    Irish point winner. Hasn't bettered modest form in a bumper and 2 hurdles in recent weeks but he caught the eye a bit when third at Newbury last week. Capable of better at some point but might be best watched this time.
