Westerner gelding. Dam, showed little over jumps, half-sister to high-class but moody chaser (stayed 4m) Turpin Green. Successful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers (Apr 2). Respected newcomer for top yard.

13/2

€8,000 3-y-o, £27,000 5-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Lambro. Third in sole start in Irish points and well backed when making winning bumper debut at Sedgefield in December, displaying a willing attitude. Should be more to come over hurdles up in trip.

Horacio Apple's²⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

16/1

Similar form all 3 starts in bumpers during first half of last season. Bred to stay well and upped in trip for hurdles debut for trainer partnership good order.

Form: 445-

Regarde²¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

4/1

€65,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde gelding. Dam, ran once over hurdles in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Sabre Hongrois. Prominent in the betting but looked one paced in a Wexford bumper for Colin Bowe in March 2021. Easy point winner since and new yard in terrific form.

Form: 6/3P21-

Rock On Cowboy²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling

5/1

Snow Sky gelding. Dam fair maiden hurdler. Irish points winner who makes plenty of appeal on his debut for yard among the winners.

So Many Roads²⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: D W Whillans

50/1

Dam, winning pointer, half-sister to fairly useful 3m hurdle winner Teeton Babysham. Minor promise in bumper/maiden hurdles last term. Should have more to offer.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

7/4

€21,000 3-y-o, £75,000 4-y-o, second foal: dam (h125) bumper/2m hurdle winner. Successful sole outing in Irish points and while that was back in 2020, he's sure to be well prepared for this given stable he represents.

The King Of Ryhope (7/4), Regarde (4/1), Rock On Cowboy (5/1), Cedar Row (11/2), Grove Road (13/2), Horacio Apple's (16/1), Glenavaddra (40/1), So Many Roads (50/1)

A quartet of point winners and a bumper scorer in opposition. GROVE ROAD's game success at Sedgefield 11 months ago is the easiest form to weigh up, and with this step up in trip fancied to suit now hurdling, he rates the percentage call. The market will reveal plenty, with Regarde and The King of Ryhope a couple of dangers.
