17/2
Stowaway gelding who appeals on paper, but he could run to only a modest level in a pair of bumpers and didn't feature on first go over timber at Wincanton 3 months ago. More of a handicap type.

Dual winning pointer who has shown fairly useful form in bumpers and, despite a lesser effort at Ffos Las recently, looks well capable of completing a successful hurdling debut.

Modest at best on Flat, stays 1¼m, tailed off last 3 starts. Nigh-on impossible to make a case for on hurdling bow.

Timeform
Westerner gelding. Brother to fairly useful chaser Zephyros Bleu. Dam unraced. ½-length second of 2 finishers sole start in Irish points (Dec 2020). Notable Rules newcomer.

Little sign of ability in bumpers, so up against it switched to hurdling.

Fair ex-Irish maiden on the Flat and placed all 4 starts over hurdles so far. Can win one of these and needs considering.

Modest form in bumpers and ran to a similar level when second in novice at this course on first go over hurdles. Needs to improve from that.

Forecasts

Castel Gandolfo (13/8), Dynamite Kentucky (2/1), Dancing Doris (7/2), Captain Ivan (17/2), Planned Paradise (18/1), Time For Timone (28/1), Khaan (125/1)

Verdict

DYNAMITE KENTUCKY has plenty of ability and is already a dual point winner, so there's little doubt he will take to hurdling at the first attempt. As such, he's a confident selection ahead of Castel Gandolfo, who sets a reasonable standard, and Dancing Doris following her positive start over timber last time.

  1. DYNAMITE KENTUCKY (FR)
  2. CASTEL GANDOLFO (IRE)
  3. DANCING DORIS
