Placed just once in 4 Irish points but built on his Cheltenham effort to make his second hurdle start a winning one in dominant style at Chepstow (19.4f) 26 days ago. Should go well under a penalty.

7/1
Shaped with encouragement first 3 starts back from a long absence last season, including over fences. Possibly amiss when pulled up at Ascot on final outing and now reverts to hurdles. Had wind op.

Modest in bumpers and could run to only a similar level when fifth on Exeter hurdling debut 43 days ago. More required.

4/1
Bumper winner (for Colin Bowe) who ran to a fair level when second to Young Butler on Chepstow hurdle debut (19.4f) 26 days ago. Entitled to progress so firmly in the mix.

€65,000 3-y-o. Brother to fair hurdler/chaser Classic Concorde (23f-25f winner) and fair 2½m hurdle winner Shantou Warrior. Runner-up both point starts, good form latterly so respected on Rules bow.

Forecasts

Jetoile (11/8), Scipion (9/4), Last Quarter (4/1), Another Crick (7/1), Landen Calling (14/1), Getalady (200/1), Pipers Dream (250/1), Godiva's Bay (300/1)

Verdict

JETOILE opened his account in dominant style at Chepstow 26 days ago, and with the performance backed up the timefigure, he looks capable of defying a penalty. Last Quarter was beaten only by a good staying prospect at the same track on his hurdling debut and is entitled to progress, while Scipion boasts some strong Irish point form, so warrants respect on this switch to Rules, too.

  1. JETOILE (IRE)
  2. LAST QUARTER (IRE)
  3. SCIPION (IRE)
