9/10
In good form at present, winning two of last three and looks like making a better chaser than hurdler based on debut win in the sphere at Cork recently. Penalty to carry but no saying how much more improvement there is to come, and conditions fine again.

By no means a bad debut over fences at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago and should improve for the experience, but possible his best trip is slightly shorter of today's. Not discounted but may need a little more here.

Just about the best of these on hurdle ratings, and breeding gives plenty of hope that fences could be his thing. Recent pipe opener at Punchestown should have put him straight for this, and if jumping fluently, looks one of the more likely ones.

Lowly rated hurdler that's in no form at all, and makes little appeal back over fences here. No realistic chance.

10/1
Not really bred for fences and although not disgraced over hurdles recently, may need further than this before we see the best of him anyway. Plenty to prove on chasing debut today.

10/3
Half-brother to useful winning chaser Antony, and connections not wasting much time over hurdles. Solid form over hurdles and stays the trip well, so plenty to like about chances on chasing debut today.

Forecasts

Static Jack (9/10), Cadeau Du Bresil (10/3), Bull Ride (11/2), Bitview Colin (7/1), The Jazz Singer (10/1), Nevada Rose (33/1)

Verdict

STATIC JACK has to give a it of weight away to some potentially useful sorts over fences, but has the benefit of experience and looked like making up into a good chase prospect on his Cork win recently. The Gordon Elliott pair of Cadeau Du Bresil and Bull Ride both make some appeal, with the former proven over the trip, and making slightly more appeal of the two.
  1. Static Jack
  2. Cadeau Du Bresil
  3. Bull Ride
