Tomorrow, February 1, 2025HurdleClass 11m7f

MAITRE EN SCIENCE very much stands out on Timeform ratings on his efforts in France, the form of his latest success at Clairefontaine in September having worked out particularly well, and he can book his ticket to Cheltenham with victory on his first start for Harry Derham. Hosaamm is the only other runner with an entry in the Triumph Hurdle and is feared with improvement likely. Nardaran, for a yard that has dominated this race, is another key player.

    Verdict
    Progressive and useful juvenile over 17f in France, winning 2 of his last 3 starts, with the form of his latest success at Clairefontaine in September having worked out particularly well. Sets a good standard on those showings and might have even more to come for new yard. Triumph Hurdle entry.

    Verdict
    Bought for €135,000 after showing fair form when third in 1½m newcomers race on his only start for Francis-Henri Graffard and he ran to a similar standard on his hurdling debut for this yard at Kempton over Christmas, looking like he'd come on for it. Cheekpieces go on and will improve.

    Verdict
    Dual winner over hurdles in France and solid start in Britain, albeit held by East India Dock in Cheltenham Grade 2 and another very impressive winner in the Chepstow Finale the last twice. Suspect he'll need to pull out a bit more to take this.

    Fair maiden on the Flat who has made an encouraging debut in this sphere, runner-up at Punchestown and Cork. Fair chance he has more to offer.

    Fair Flat winner who looks a straightforward sort in this sphere, scoring at Ballinrobe in September before a good second at Punchestown in October. Given a break and wouldn't completely dismiss.

    Fair Flat winner in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and has started well over hurdles, scoring at Kempton and Taunton. Stiff task behind some promising ones at Ascot a fortnight ago though and this isn't much easier.

    Verdict
    Useful performer on Flat (stays 1½m) for Owen Burrows. New connections acquired him for 78,000 gns and built on hurdling debut when scoring cosily at Wetherby. Could improve again and a Triumph Hurdle entry well worth considering.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m) and has made a positive start over hurdles in C&D events, successful on New Year's Day. Will need a lot more to follow up in this grade.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), successful twice in 2024. Gelded and given a breathing operation and ran to just a modest level on hurdling debut at Ascot a fortnight ago, perhaps needing the run more than he looked. Potential there to improve.

    Verdict
    Seemed to show fair form when third in a newcomers race at Clairefontaine on his only Flat start but was too free on his first outing for this yard (€32,000) after 5 months off when behind Johnny Ringo here on New Year's Day. Hood goes on. Hard to fancy.
