Olivers Travels¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

8/11

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and, well backed, went one better switched to a bumper at Worcester (2m) 16 days ago. Looks up to defying a penalty.

Form: 2-1

Maillot Vert²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Mrs S Leech

10/1

Dunaden gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including ungenuine but smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Up And Go, stayed 23f, and fair hurdler Maillot Blanc. Showed some ability when second in 6-runner C&D event on debut 23 days ago and may do better.

Form: 2

9/1

£9,000 3-y-o, Telescope gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Carrig Cathal, stays 23f. Dam (h97) 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m).

Olivers Travels (8/11), Sangiovese (9/4), Monocular (9/1), Maillot Vert (10/1)

OLIVERS TRAVELS opened his Rules account at the first attempt in ready fashion at Worcester 16 days ago and looks up to defying a penalty in a race of this nature on that evidence. Maillot Vert showed some ability on his C&D debut and is fancied to give the selection most to do, though a market move for newcomer Sangiovese would be noteworthy.
