15/2

Malinas gelding. Dam, modest maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Rath An Iuir. Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Apr 16). Yard wouldn't be a regular source of winners in this sphere.

Form: 541-

Getuptheyard¹⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

28/1

Getaway gelding. Easy to back but shaped as if the experience would bring him on when seventh of 9 in a Taunton bumper on debut back in March.

Form: 7-

Kap Boy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

4/5

€160,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser in France Santa Bamba and French hurdler/chaser Pentacle. Top yard boast 25% strike rate with bumper runners in last 5 seasons and of obvious interest on debut.

King Of Tara¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

13/8

€85,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Promising debut effort when runner-up in a Stratford bumper (16.3f) back in May and that experience won't have been wasted on him ahead of this and he's respected.

Forecasts

Kap Boy (4/5), King Of Tara (13/8), Brechin Castle (2/1), Albie Littlewood (5/1), Mistymal (15/2), Don Occhetti (10/1), Getuptheyard (28/1)

The betting will undoubtedly prove informative but newcomer KAP BOY appeals as a likely type on debut for the all-conquering Nicholls' camp and he earns the vote without the benefit of market clues. King of Tara has an experience edge over most and he's feared, with Brechin Castle and Albie Littlewood another couple to note.
