    Grade 2 Neptune Investment Hurdle

    TIMEFORM 1-2-3
    Taquin Du Seuil (FR) - Le Bec (FR) - Up and Go (FR)

    TIMEFORM VIEW
    Taquin du Seuil pulled clear of the rest with the top prospect My Tent Or Yours at Ascot last time
    and can come out on top here with the step up to 2½m sure to suit. None of his rivals can be
    dismissed, with Le Bec respected in particular after his Kempton romp, while Up And Go falls into
    the 'could be anything' category.

    TIMEFORM SAYS...
    Dunlough Bay (IRE)
    Showed ability in bumpers for Lawney Hill and off the mark over hurdles at second attempt at
    Lingfield (19.5f) last month. Value for extra that day, though this is a lot tougher.

    Le Bec (FR)
    Placed in bumpers last season before making successful hurdling debut with impressive display
    at Kempton (21f) in October, cruising clear despite bad mistake 2 out. Sure to progress.

    Southfield Theatre (IRE)
    Impressive start for new yard in Cheltenham bumper on return, staying on strongly. Exciting
    hurdling prospect who will stay this far and very much one to consider.

    Taquin Du Seuil (FR)
    Pretty useful stayer on Flat in France. Ran away with 2m Uttoxeter maiden hurdle in October and
    lost little caste in defeat behind exciting My Tent Or Yours at Ascot. Step up in trip will suit.

    Up and Go (FR)
    Irish point winner who created fine impression when taking Uttoxeter bumper on heavy ground
    last month. Interesting to see top yard pitch him into Grade 2 for hurdles debut and respected.

    Future Stars

    TIMEFORM 1-2-3
    Bold Sir Brian (IRE) - Pacha Du Polder (FR) - Grove Pride

    TIMEFORM VIEW
    Pacha du Polder is likely to bounce back from his Old Roan Chase disappointment, but
    conditions look ideal for Bold Sir Brian who is sure to go close if lasting out over 3m.

    TIMEFORM SAYS...

    Pacha Du Polder (FR)
    Took well to chasing last season, successful 3 of 5 starts at up to 2½m. Disappointing when well
    backed on return in Old Roan Chase, though, weakening 4 out. Likely to bounce back.

    Bold Sir Brian (IRE)
    Chaser going places and small-field scenario here will suit having posted another success in
    similar contest at Carlisle (2½m) on return. No reason why he won't stay 3m and leading claims.

    Triolo D'Alene (FR)
    Made useful winning start for new yard in 19f Ascot handicap in January but just 1 good effort in 3
    runs since and particularly disappointing in Paddy Power last month. Stamina doubts.

    Grove Pride
    Did well in novice hurdles and despite being an unfortunate winner of chasing debut at Exeter
    (3m) did go with plenty of encouragement. Can do better over fences and gets weight from his
    rivals.

          Good morning,

          I would love it if Bold Sir Brian could win the graduation chase. Nicholls horse is the danger in my view.
