Chez Hans has had wind surgery since last seen. He hasn’t taken to hurdles so far but has won and placed on the Flat. Rose Of Aghaboe won over hurdles and fences in the autumn and took one of these at Lingfield last month so arrives in good form. Une De La Seniere landed mares’ handicap hurdle at Leicester in November but JACAMAR, who has been running well in decent company over timber this season, is surely the one to beat if handling this quicker surface.
