Expensive purchase (fetched £150,000) and winner of his sole completed start between the flags. Very much one to consider on this Rules debut, particularly if he's strong in the betting.

Placed on 3 of his 4 starts in bumpers but significant improvement will be needed if he's to play a leading role on hurdles debut. Has undergone wind surgery.

Failed to justify favouritism on debut in 16.8f Newton Abbot bumper last month. However, that effort was not devoid of promise and may do better now switched to hurdles.

Beaten a long way on Rules debut in a bumper at Huntingdon in January and best watched starting out over hurdles here. Hood enlisted.

Promising start to her career when runner-up in a 14-runner Huntingdon bumper (15.8f, soft) in March. Bred to make her mark over jumps and she's not without each-way hope on this hurdles debut.

Successful sole start between the flags but last month's Rules debut in a Plumpton bumper was uninspiring.

Shaped well when third on Rules debut in a Chepstow bumper last October. Promising effort switched to hurdles at Newbury (16.3f) next time and this stiffer test should help. Tongue strap applied.

€30,000 buy who fell on sole start in Irish points. However, made a winning start under Rules at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) in March and needs considering now switched to hurdles.

First past the post in a maiden point last year and lost little caste in defeat when runner-up on Rules debut at Wexford (16f, heavy) in March. Needs to raise his game.

Half-brother to smart bumper winner/smart hurdler Montbazon. Won Irish point on debut last year and promising start under Rules when third in a Kempton bumper in February. Merits respect.

Forecasts

Kilbrook (85/40), Valleres (3/1), Martinhal (4/1), Inca Rose (11/2), Across The Channel (13/2), Fan Club Aulmes (14/1), South Terrace (33/1), French Paradoxe (66/1), Cockney Beau (80/1), Alright Marlene (125/1), Kenyan Cowboy (125/1)

Verdict

The one who appeals most is VALLERES, who shaped with plenty of promise in a Kempton bumper on Rules debut in February and improvement is anticipated now switched to hurdles and faced with a stiffer test. Kilbrook was third in a decent Newbury novice on his introduction to hurdles last November and is next on the list ahead of point winner Across The Channel, Fan Club Aulmes and Martinhal.
