She wasn’t seen out until Cheltenham last season and she clearly didn’t run up to her best either there or back at Cheltenham afterwards. But we know what a good horse she is at her best – as we saw with her victories in 2017 and her second to Laurina at the Festival two years ago – and she is a horse who goes well when fresh and in this ground. Plus, she won her Listed bumper around here, too. She obviously faces no easy task on her comeback, despite there being only five runners, but we are very happy with her going into the race.

He won very easily for us on his debut for the yard over course and distance back in November, and the handicapper certainly didn’t miss him by putting him up 12lb. This is a lot better and more competitive race and I doubt we will get as easy a lead as we did that day, but he clearly loves it around here with plenty of cut, and hopefully he can build on that win last time.

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.”
