Double The Dance
Bought for 100,000euros after winning an Irish point; clear at one stage before finishing second in an Ascot bumper (good; raced freely) and, although that form has taken some knocks, it was a good first run under rules.

Half Hoping
Failed only narrowly at Chepstow (soft) last month against a winner who was well touted after pushing a good horse close in his only Irish point; that winner, No Walkover, runs at Aintree 3.25 today; respected.

Lancelot Vivo
Beaten 11l when favourite for a bumper here (good to soft) two months ago but he ran well for a long way up front and that wasn't too bad a race.

Lancier Des Obeaux
Fifth foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Label Des Obeaux (smart 2m4f hurdle/3m chase), Luna Des Obeaux (French 1m7f hurdle) and Le Brionneau (2m4f cross-country chase); watching brief is probably best.

Style De Folie
100,000 3yo; seventh foal; brother to 10.5f Flat (RPR 86) and 2m hurdle winner Style De Vole, half-brother to three winners including Style De Garde (useful 2m/2m1f hurdle/chase); dam French 2m1f-2m4f hurdle/chase winner; had wind surgery prior to this debut and goes in a tongue-tie; market helpful and trainer has had two bumper wins this week with new recruits.
