Flying Startandco finished ahead of Flute Des Champs in a Listed contest at Compiegne 11 days ago but is unlikely to be the stable’s first choice in this. A winner in this grade over hurdles in November, HELL BOY (NAP) had no problem opening his account over fences in March at the first time of asking. He’s improved out of all recognition over the last 12 months and his winning run is unlikely to be halted in this. Edgeoy has bags of chasing experience and beat the smart Ebonite in a Grade 3 at Auteuil in October, though ran poorly behind that rival on his reappearance in March and is giving the selection 5lb.
Hell Boy (FR) (10-10) won at Compiegne 2m 3f hvy in Mar beating Fellow Mag (10-12) by dist, 5 ran.
