Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: R Ross

40/1

Placed twice from 14 point-to-point starts in Ireland. Well held on heavy ground in April on the most recent of those and others make more appeal.

15/2

Unraced Sulamani gelding and a full-brother to the yards Great Colaci among others. Interesting to see how he fares on debut.

Form:

The Maestro²⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart

9/4

Impressive 10L winner of a small field good-to-soft ground maiden point-to-point at Chaddesley Corbett on debut in April. Cost connections £60,000 at the sales the following month and he is of interest on Rules debut.

Madam Scully²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Colm McCormack⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Jackson

50/1

Fair effort when seventh in a 2m1f bumper at Sedgefield (good) when making her debut in April. Likely more needed if she's to take this contest.

Forecasts

The Second Coming (9/4), The Maestro (9/4), Dog Of War (5/2), Winter Time (11/4), Zakharova (4/1), Sultans Hero (15/2), Enlighten (8/1), Pingley Lad (20/1), Dippin And Diving (33/1), Stornaway (40/1), Chauvet Cave (40/1), Madam Scully (50/1)

DOG OF WAR represents a top yard and he is taken to get off the mark at the first time of asking in the concluding bumper. Zakharova ran to a good level of form when winning on debut earlier this year and she can finish runner-up ahead of Enlighten who can claim third on his seasonal debut.
