5/4
Fair form in bumpers and matched that level at the third attempt over hurdles when runner-up at Newcastle recently. That form looks solid, and he should go well again.

15/2
Modest hurdler who was back on track despite an inadequate test when second in a 4-runner event at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Return to this trip should suit, but has a bit to find.

Fair hurdler who ran with credit when fourth in novice at Ayr on debut for this yard (formerly with Noel Meade). Has looked fragile to date, but obvious claims if he can back that up.

10/1
Could only manage seventh of 11 on his Ayr bumper debut in November but the fact he went off at only 5/2 suggests he must have been showing something at home. Steps up in trip for hurdle debut.

£30,000 5-y-o, Malinas mare. Dam 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m). Won sole start in points (Nov 21). Tongue tie on and a notable Rules newcomer.

Forecasts

Firth Of Forth (5/4), Pat's Pick (3/1), So They Say (5/1), Lalochezia (15/2), River Meadow (10/1)

Verdict

FIRTH OF FORTH improved on previous efforts when second at Newcastle last time and this stiffer test could bring about further improvement, so he's preferred to Pat's Pick, who needs to back up a positive start for his current stable. So They Say, a winner between the flags, is one to note in the market starting out under Rules.

  1. FIRTH OF FORTH (IRE)
  2. PAT'S PICK (IRE)
  3. SO THEY SAY
