The word is out regarding ex-French LULAMBA, whose Triumph Hurdle odds collapsed last week. He's evidently held in very high regard and has any amount of potential, so gets the vote in an interesting clash with Mondo Man who is another notable recruit from France and whose Flat ability suggests he warrants respect in receipt of 10lb from the selection.[Steve Boow]

Recorded a 5l success at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) in sole French start and looks a bright prospect, having already been backed into favouritism for the Triumph Hurdle; missed intended British debut last Saturday due to the abandonment of Kempton; potentially very smart.
Ex-Irish 4yo who is 2-4 for new stable, comfortably justifying favouritism at Taunton (good to soft) most recently; stiffer task under a big penalty in this field and Cheltenham defeats have exposed his limitations.
Successful in Bellewstown handicap on final Flat start in Ireland and followed up in juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen (good to soft) for new yard; carries 6lb penalty in a better race but is open to further progress.
Formerly trained in France; very useful on Flat, having finished fifth in the French Derby and fourth in King Edward VII at Royal Ascot last year; sold for 520,000euros since last run; commands respect, assuming his ability is transferred to this code.
Flat winner in Ireland in 2023, then was on the sidelines until trailing home last of seven in juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham five weeks ago for new stable; others have stronger claims.
Fairly useful on Flat, most recently recording an easy win on AW (1m6f; final run for Martyn Meade); sold for 95,000gns and had gelding/wind operations since; the type to do well in juvenile hurdles.
Both Flat outings last April for Michael Bell, showing modest form on debut and pulled up (something amiss) next time; best watched unless the betting suggests improvement is expected.
