Formscan - A cloud may still hang over the well-being of the Nicky Henderson stable, but the exciting SIR GINO may be just the tonic to get them back on track. The French import made quite the impression at Cheltenham in January and having missed his intended engagement in the Triumph Hurdle, he arrives here fresh and ready to lay down a marker as the best juvenile hurdler around. A Grade 1 winner at the Dublin Racing Festival, Kargese arguably sets the standard on form following a fine second in the Triumph behind stablemate Majborough. The unbeaten Kalif Du Berlais may well be a chaser in the making, but he got up late to score in the Adonis at Kempton and looks to have a similar profile to Monmiral, who won this for the stable in 2021.
