Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien

13/2

Telescope gelding who made a positive start when second in a C&D bumper 6 months ago. Likely to improve and should make his presence felt

Form: 2-

Bullets Hill²⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: Ella Pickard

12/1

Only fourth over C&D on debut 6 months ago so will need to improve on this first outing for a new stable.

20/1

£15,000 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Sixth foal: dam, fell sole start in points, half-sister to Irish Grand National winner General Principle. Probably more one for the longer term.

5/1

€150,000 3-y-o, No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Gold Bullion. One to take seriously on debut.

Form:

Libor Lad^t1¹⁹⁹

100/1

Down the field at Bangor on debut 6 months ago and likely to struggle again with a tongue strap fitted.

Form: 9-

Royal Defender¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe

3/1

155,000 gns 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Kings Palace. Won sole start in Irish points (May 2). Makes plenty of appeal on Rules debut.

Form: 1

Steel Ally

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁷⁾| T: S Thomas

15/8

Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to 19f chase winner in France Elite Rock. Dam (c108/h122), 17f hurdle winner in France. Worth a market check.

80/1

£80,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Hell's Kitchen and useful chaser Militarian. Wears hood.

Form:

Nathan Walker¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss A Procter⁽⁷⁾| T: Kieran Burke

80/1

Related to numerous winners but only a glimmer of ability in two starts to date and might need this return from 167 days off.

Form: U-9

Non-Runners

Iwenn Bihoue

Weight: 10-13| Age: 4

T: J Tizzard J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Steel Ally (15/8), Royal Defender (3/1), Hurricane Danny (5/1), Moonshine Spirit (13/2), Iwenn Bihoue (8/1), Bullets Hill (12/1), Kash Tara (16/1), Imperial Measure (18/1), Donnacha (20/1), Flemen's Tipple (50/1), Nathan Walker (80/1), Golden Millie (80/1), Libor Lad (100/1)

ROYAL DEFENDER is an expensive recruit from points and starts out under Rules for a stable that should have him tuned up, so he takes marginal preference over Hurricane Danny, who also makes plenty of appeal on paper. Moonshine Spirit is the clear pick of those with bumper experience.
