7/2

Lightly-raced winner in this sphere. Wasn't up to Grade 1 level when fifth of 8 to Kilcruit in Champion INH Flat Race at Punchestown last time, though still matched his previous form.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr N Gault⁽⁷⁾| T: S Wilson

12/1

Backed at long odds and found only one too good in 7-runner bumper at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 53 days ago. He lacks scope, however, so improvement may not be forthcoming.

Form: 2

Rhodia

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: S Wilson

28/1

Fast Company gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler (1¾m-17f winner) My Tent Or Yours. Makes some appeal on paper so worth a precautionary market check.

Form:

Castlenagree^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Harvey⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Christie

25/1

Conduit gelding. Dam point winner. Wears tongue strap.

1/3

€80,000 3-y-o, Maxios gelding. Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Applaus, stays 2½m. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal.

Forecasts

The Mediator (1/3), Lieutenant Highway (6/4), Sundrenched (7/2), Oregon (12/1), Castlenagree (25/1), Rhodia (28/1)

THE MEDIATOR makes plenty of appeal on paper for a top yard and can make a successful debut at the likely expense of Sundrenched, who wasn't up to Grade 1 level in the spring but will find this much easier. The selection's stablemate Lieutenant Highway offered some encouragement on his recent debut at Punchestown, despite failing to meet expectations, and could pose a threat too.
