200 Hereford

Baron Du Plessis 4/1 PP

In terrible form so hopefully this one can run well. Had three starts over fences and appears to be getting the hang of it judged on his decent 3rd at Donny last time out. He had ran weel at Chepstow prior to that but bumped into one but definitely looks as though he can off this mark. Interesting that Mr Johnson opts to ride again so he must fancy it.

Richard Johnson also looks to hold solid claims on Kerry Lee’s 9yo.He gets back on board here for the first time since March 2015 when the pair combined to land a Newbury class 2 hurdle off a mark of 135.Johnson’s form figures on the Montjeu gelding read 22342231.

Looked to be coming back to form last time in a Sandown class 2 when 3rd,just over 6ls behind the 143 rated Call Me Lord(holds entry in Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock)with the 137 rated Brillaire Momento 6ls behind in 4th.Been raised just 1lb for that run to 123 but very well treated on old form and drops down a grade here.
