| Fairly useful form when making the frame all 4 starts in maiden hurdles, including when beaten only by the odds-on favourite at Limerick in March. In cheekpieces, well below form on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (2½m) 5 weeks ago, but he's worth another chance up in trip. | ||||||||

| Placed on first 2 of 3 starts in points and caused an 80/1 surprise when landing 8-runner bumper at this course (19f) on Rules debut in April, though there appeared to be no fluke about it. Bred to suited by this longer distance on hurdles bow. | ||||||||

DOCTOR DU MESNIL showed promise when runner-up in maidens on his first 2 starts over hurdles, so he is taken to bounce back from a lesser effort in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham. Returned to the scene of his bumper success, he can get the better of Jeroboam Machin who is one to note on his hurdles bow, with Doctor Elvis also in the mix. |
