£52,000 buy after finishing runner-up on both starts in Irish points (latest Nov 13). New yard does well in bumpers. Likely to play a prominent role on Rules debut.

In top hands but hasn't managed only two sixth-placed finishes so far. Improvement will be needed but perhaps this likely drier ground will help.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Ballymagroarty Boy (23f winner). Third sole start in Irish points (Oct 31). Interesting runner for a good stable which gets plenty of bumper winners.

Al Namix gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to 15f-19f French hurdles/chase winner Mistrial. Wears tongue strap. Interesting to see how he compares in the betting to stablemate Hymac.

Passing Glance half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Midnight Midge. Dam (h102) 2m-17f hurdle winner (stayed 21f). Makes paper appeal. The market should provide more clues.

Half-sister to a few winners. Stepped up a good deal on her debut (for Ed de Giles) when a close third of 6 at Ascot 9 months later. That's the best form on offer here.

€78,000 Milan gelding. Dam (c136/h136) 2¼m-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 2¾m). Certainly bred to have a future but yard is only 1-20 in bumpers this season.

Martaline gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to 4 winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser Pont Alexandre. Definitely worth checking out in the betting.

£16,000 Doyen gelding. Dam, little impact over hurdles, sister to useful chaser (stays 3¾m) Straidnahanna. Probably best watched on debut.

Forecasts

Hymac (2/1), St Patricks Bridge (4/1), Pataille (9/2), Houi Cherie (13/2), The Scientist (9/1), Sandalwood (16/1), Wotastunner (16/1), King Of Lombardy (18/1), Mr Mars Man (25/1), Watchoutitscookie (33/1), Mountain Grey (40/1)

Verdict

HYMAC's point form has a bit of substance (only narrowly denied by a subsequent bumper winner on second start) so he might be worth siding with to make a winning start to his Rules career for the Harry Fry team, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Houi Cherie rates an obvious threat after her close third at Ascot, while St Patricks Bridge is another recruit from the pointing field who could be up to making his presence felt.
