Verdict
HA D’OR, a winning bumper in France, was very highly tried on his first two starts over timber last winter. He attempted to make all on his reappearance at Navan but was caught close home by Au Fleuron and should go one better. The winner’s yard is represented by winning point-to-pointer Fiston Des Issards, who looked one to follow when runner-up on his hurdling debut here in 2020 but has been well beaten in both subsequent starts. The four-year-old Celestial Horizon completed a double on the Flat in the summer and started favourite on his debut here last month but weakened quickly from two out. Queen Jane is a newcomer to note.
