Rapaport wasn’t beaten far at Carlisle earlier this month but is already a 10-year-old. Bumper winner Code Name Lise has been disappointing over hurdles so far but HILLFINCH (NAP) made a very promising start over timber when second to the odds-on Holly Hartingo here last month. She holds Galante De Romay on that run and can prevent the once-raced Hana Collonges from giving the Nicky Henderson stable a third win in this in four years.
