Race preview
PRIDE OF PARIS made his handicap hurdling debut a winning one when scoring narrowly over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell in January. Stepping up further in trip and tackling fences for the first time, he gets the vote to go in again off a 5lb higher mark. West Orchard pulled clear with the eventual winner when second over 3m1f on heavy ground at Wincanton and he is respected. The rise in distance can help American Gerry put his best foot forward, although his winless run dates back to April 2022.
