5/4

€40,000 3-y-o, £70,000 4-y-o, No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fair 2½m hurdle winner Epswell. Dam French bumper winner. Third both starts in maiden points and looks a likely type for this Rules debut.

20/1

Diamond Green gelding. Half-brother to 2m French bumper winner Derby de Thaix. Makes very little appeal based on his exploits between the flags.

8/1

Kayf Tara gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Not At Present. Successful sole start between the flags in February and he's one to consider.

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R James⁽⁷⁾| T: D M O'Brien

4/1

Soldier of Fortune gelding who landed a maiden point at the second attempt in March. One to note in the betting on this Rules debut.

12/1

€1,100 3-y-o, Leading Light gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler (19f winner) Patsy Bee. Winner of one of his 2 completed starts in points but others possess more appealing profiles all the same.

Form: 3F1F-

Val Venus¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J C Barry⁽³⁾| T: Edward F Power

4/1

Valirann gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/high-class chaser Hidden Cyclone and fair hurdler Kings Canyon. Dam unraced. Winner of the second of his 2 starts in maiden points and could have a part to play on Rules debut.

Forecasts

Jackstell (5/4), Mic Drop (4/1), Val Venus (4/1), Block Rockin Beats (7/1), Kerlogue (8/1), Norr's Cross (11/1), Therellbguddaysyet (12/1), Jumble Light (20/1), Fox Hardaway (40/1), And Still I Rise (125/1)

The vote goes to JACKSTELL, who was placed on both of his appearances between the flags and this half-brother to four winners is an appealing type for a much-respected yard. Kerlogue, Val Venus and Mic Drop, all point winners, are feared most in that order of preference.
