Horse A-Z
€265,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Brother to bumper winner Romeo Coolio. Very much one to note on debut. Yard also saddles Spinola Bay.

Thrice-raced maiden. 4½ lengths fifth of 9 to Royal Infantry in listed bumper (14/1) at Newbury (16.3f, soft) 50 days ago. This British raider is not without each-way hope.
|
Timeform
€95,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Bon Retour and fair hurdler Stay Humble, stayed 33f. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for top yard (also represented by Kopek Des Bordes and La Note Verte).

Dragon Dancer gelding. Dam, maiden hurdler (stayed 19f), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Will O'The West. It'll be interesting to see what the market makes of his chances.

Once-raced winner in bumpers. 8/11, won 6-runner bumper at Hereford (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 35 days ago, just holding on. Should win more races.

Forecasts

Kopek Des Bordes (15/8), Spinola Bay (10/3), Doctor Steinberg (6/1), Butchers Bill (17/2), Clap Of Thunder (10/1), We're Red And Blue (12/1), La Note Verte (14/1), Keep Kool Coko (22/1), Moon And Back (25/1), Frogman (28/1), Moonshine Ranger (33/1), Kentucky Beach (40/1), Nearlybens (50/1), Some See Stars (66/1), Spread The Faith (150/1)

Verdict

BUTCHERS BILL makes plenty of appeal on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. He is marginally preferred to the Willie Mullins-trained newcomers Kopek Des Bordes, La Note Verte and Doctor Steinberg (in that order of preference), while British raiders Clap of Thunder and We're Red And Blue both have claims.
