Sassie

I rode her a few times last season, winning on her twice, and she signed off for the year with a good win over 2m at Kempton. She went up 3lb for that win, which seems fair enough considering the form has worked out pretty well, so she can be expected to give a good account here if straight enough. It’s a very competitive handicap, mind you.

Blue De Vega

Things didn’t look to fall his way at Kempton last time, but he had earlier shaped very well on his return on soft ground at Newbury. So any rain won’t be an issue, although he acts on any going. I think he is on a mark from which he can be competitive but you need everything to drop right in these sprint handicaps.

Monsieur Lambrays

He was beaten a long way on his return at Nottingham, and you wouldn’t immediately think he has been let in lightly off a mark of 74. But he shaped nicely at Newmarket last October, this is a more realistic assignment than Nottingham, and of course he is very lightly-raced and the step up in trip should suit on pedigree.

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.”

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.”

Nicky Henderson: “His record at Aintree is good and if he can bounce back, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him go close.”

SATURDAY AINTREE 1:20 H’Cap Hurdle BOLD ENDEAVOUR (JAMES BOWEN) He ran very well in the Pertemps at Cheltenham after coming down to a competitive rating and he appears to have come out of it in good shape. He hasn’t won for a while, but is Mr Consistent and competes off the same mark as last … Nicky Henderson: “His record at Aintree is good and if he can bounce back, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him go close.”

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.”
