5/2
High class bumper horse that was fourth to Ballyandy in the 2016 Champion Bumper, couldn't get off the mark in maiden hurdles despite going off short prices last season but this looks easier and he should be up to playing a major part.

25/1
Useful on the Flat and showed a bit of ability behind Denham Sound on his hurdles debut but will surely be biting off a bit too much here.

40/1
Been a bit keen in his races but has shown some ability, however not enough to make him of interest on his hurdles debut today.

5/4
Represents a powerful yard, easy winner on bumper debut at Cork but suffered an expensive reversal at Limerick when last seen in May. Must be better than that and market likely to guide in relation to stablemate.

5/1
Plenty of ability but expensive to follow, has suffered defeats at 10/11 and 4/7 in last two maiden hurdles (although bumped into Supasundae on one occasion). Slight question as to what he's capable of after another absence but respected all the same.

5/1
Has been giving it a good go from the front in maiden hurdles when last seen and put in best effort to date when second to Art Of Security at Naas when last seen. Won't mind any rain and if ready to go after a break, holds an obvious e/w chance again.

50/1
Fourth at Downpatrick in a maiden hurdle on debut not a bad effort at all, and suggests there's races to be won with him, but this is a warm little contest and he may have to wait for an easier opportunity.

40/1
Not much in her form to suggest she can get involved here and she's readily passed over.
Point-to-point winner that was well beaten (despite finishing in the frame) at Kilbeggan latest. Likely to find a few of these a bit too classy for her.
Not beaten far on the Flat at Down Royal latest but it's only low-level form and won't be worrying the principal players here.

Forecasts

Minella Beau (5/4), Castello Sforza (5/2), Turbojet (5/1), Silver Concorde (5/1), Canny Tom (8/1), Glan Y Gors (25/1), Nellie Pledge (40/1), Matin D'anjou (40/1), Dorkas (40/1), Unchago (50/1), Gameasapebble (66/1), Princess Harriet (100/1)

Verdict

The likes of Silver Concorde and Castello Sforza hold chances here, but they are expensive to follow and TURBOJET looks a perfectly solid e/w alternative to them. He's done little wrong and is likely to give another bold showing from the front here.
  1. Turbojet
  2. Castello Sforza
  3. Silver Concorde
