Fairly useful maiden on Flat but just modest form over hurdles and has left Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Has had a breathing operation.

Doyen gelding who was runner-up to Shan Blue on Irish point debut back in November 2018. Shaped encouragingly on belated Rules debut when second in novice at Warwick and this looks a good opportunity.

Steadily progressive, third of 12 in first-time tongue strap in novice at Stratford (18.7f) when last seen in November (form working out well). Up in trip and may have more to offer still.

Easy winner of an Irish point on debut in November 2018 and shaped as if retaining ability when an encouraging fifth in novice at Warwick on belated Rules debut. Disappointed here since, however.

Forecasts

Hurling Magic (4/5), Master Templar (3/1), Fontana Ellissi (11/2), Minella Royale (10/1), Crecerelle (28/1), Trooper Jones (50/1)

Verdict

HURLING MAGIC was runner-up to the smart Shan Blue back in an Irish point in November 2018 and was beaten only by a useful prospect on his belated Rules debut at Warwick last month. This looks an excellent opportunity for Nicky Henderson's 7-y-o to open his account, with Master Templar taken to follow him home.

  1. HURLING MAGIC (IRE)
  2. MASTER TEMPLAR (IRE)
  3. FONTANA ELLISSI (FR)
