Adrian Heskin: “Hopefully, the first-time cheek pieces can spark him back to life”

KEMPTON – SATURDAY

3.35pm

You have to say that his last three runs have been disappointing, even if he ran okay at Ascot in December, but at least he has come down 4lb in the weights for those efforts and hopefully the first-time cheek pieces can spark him back to life. He is certainly on a good weight if they do, as he is back on the same mark as when winning at Newbury on his return, and he would like it if the ground doesn’t ride too testing given the 3m trip. I schooled him on Thursday and he is in good shape.

I don’t know anything about him at the moment but his pedigree looks promising, being by Shirocco out of a mare who proved a very smart sort for the stable, winning her bumper and then developing into a very decent Listed race-winning hurdler.

WOLVERHAMPTON – SUNDAY

2.30pm

Sunny Express

He ran below expectations over hurdles at Ayr last time, so this jumpers’ bumper is a good opportunity for him to get his form back. He ran very well when placed in his bumper at Ayr last season.

AYR 1:45 Califet En Vol (James Bowen) At the time of writing, he is also running on today but we’ve backed horses up before like this and he is a very uncomplicated person, so I feel he will handle two quick runs, but of course he’ll be fully checked over and if he’s still feeling … Nicky Henderson: “This is a very suitable race due to the fact it’s for horses that have won just one race and I expect him to go quite nicely.”

Nico de Boinville: “He is back over hurdles and off a mark we hope he can be competitive off.”

1.20pm Aintree Jeriko Du Reponet I obviously wasn’t on him in the Kim Muir but it is fair to say he didn’t run up to expectations there. He is back over hurdles here then and off a mark we hope he can be competitive off, for all he is 8lb higher than when winning so … Nico de Boinville: “He is back over hurdles and off a mark we hope he can be competitive off.”
