LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): P Nicholls (60 wins from 234 runners, 26%) runs FARLAND TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): N Mulholland (6 wins from 22 runners, 27%) runs BADBURY RINGS FANCY THAT: P Nicholls won this race in 2020 and 2021. The stable runs FARLAND today.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: NATHANAEL GREENE trained by A Ralph, Bridgnorth, 79 miles.
BEAU QUALI made a promising start to his career when second in a juvenile hurdle at Lyon Parilly in March and, having joined a top yard subsequently, improvement looks sure to be on the cards, so he’s selected to go one better. Farland got off the mark in bumpers in cosy fashion at Fakenham and rates the main threat, with Tuxedo Junction and Peso also of some interest

A few in with chances but KAP BOY made a winning debut in a bumper at this meeting last year and having matched that form when runner-up at Newbury 3 months later, this athletic sort is fancied to make his mark on return/hurdling debut at the expense of Le Fauve, who has already finished runner-up twice in this sphere and sets a decent standard to aim at on reappearance. Bumper winner French Ship can edge out Rules debutant River Run Free for third.

GOOD BOY BOBBY won this race from just 1lb lower a year ago and returns with yard in tremendous order, so a bold repeat bid looks firmly on the cards Enrilo (on the back of a breathing op) and Certainly Red contested a much better race than this at Sandown when last seen in the spring and head the opposition.
