Wetherby winner LAWRENNY ran even better when second at Newcastle next time and can return to winning ways. French recruit Le Tiep's Sacre is feared most on his first run for the Moores, while the Nicky Henderson-trained Tradecraft is open to improvement on his second hurdle start.[Ben Hutton]

Won at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in December and went very close at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) last time; even with the penalty and the drop back in trip, this could be a good opportunity to return to winning ways.
His dam was useful and it's very early days, but he was soundly beaten in his sole bumper (good to soft) and it was the same story on last month's hurdle debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy); lots of improvement needed.
Runner-up in two strong bumpers then tailed off at Punchestown festival last May; a bit underwhelming on hurdle debut over C&D in November but he's with a top trainer and could leave that latest run well behind.
38,000euros foal, 72,000euros 3yo; fifth foal; closely related to bumper/2m6f hurdle winner Del La Mar Rocket (RPR 129); dam twice-raced sister to 2m3f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Tribal Dance; makes debut in a race lacking depth and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting.
Placed on both French starts, most recently third on hurdle debut at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) in October; changed hands for 150,000euros in November and this 4yo is one to be interesting in on his British debut, especially if strong in the betting.
