MONDO MAN (3) is markedly down in grade after finishing fourth attempting the Festive Premier Handicap Hurdle at Ascot during December. Placed second in a Lingfield Park novice hurdler prior. Can bounce back. THISTLE BE THE ONE (5) finished fifth contesting a novice handicap hurdle at Ascot before pulling up at Wincanton. Returns after a two-and-a-half month absence wearing new tongue-tie. Improvement expected. LADY IRIS (6) finished eighth on initial career outing at Angers. Makes UK and stable debut. More is needed and interesting following a break. MAJOR MAJOR (2) may also come on from a seventh in a Newbury juvenile hurdle.
