Verdict

A winner of three of his last four starts, HOMME D'UN SOIR arrives here in top form and a 5 lb rise for his latest success at Ludlow is unlikely to stop him in his tracks. Coup de Coeur gets the nod ahead of Clean Getaway for forecast purposes.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob
1	Largely creditable efforts over hurdles/fences since joining this yard, making it 3-6 in this sphere when driven out to land a 5-runner handicap at Ludlow (2m, good) last month. 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. 1st Pick 1 Homme D'un Soir (Fr) Jockey: Sean Quinlan Trainer: Billy Aprahamian J: Sean Quinlan T: Billy Aprahamian	100	-	-	-	50%
Analysis Largely creditable efforts over hurdles/fences since joining this yard, making it 3-6 in this sphere when driven out to land a 5-runner handicap at Ludlow (2m, good) last month. 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick.
3	Fairly useful form over fences in France and, having shown encouragement on first chase start for current yard in November, he hit the target at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft) 2 months later. Second in a 4-runner handicap over the same C&D next time and possibilities here off the same mark. 2nd Pick 3 Coup De Coeur (Fr) Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Micky Hammond J: Brian Hughes T: Micky Hammond	98	-	-	-	36%

5	In fine form since September, runner-up at Sedgefield and Southwell before winning 4 on the bounce over hurdles/fences at the former course. Thwarted in his bid for the five-timer when last seen in December and now 8 lb above last winning mark but he will nevertheless be a threat if fully tuned-up. 3rd Pick 5 Clean Getaway (Ire) Jockey: Joe Williamson Trainer: Philip Kirby J: Joe Williamson T: Philip Kirby	98	-	-	-	20%
