Rainbow Trail¹⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

8/1

Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 15/2, creditable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) 155 days ago. Should be suited by switch to chasing/longer trip, so definite player.

Form: 2/17215-

Shajak^p,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott

17/2

Promising sort. Useful winner on the Flat but only fairly useful over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 7 in novice chase (6/1) at Tramore (22.8f, good) on debut over fences 17 days ago, keeping on well. Merits respect.

MOSSY FEN PARK was last seen (in March) finishing second in the Easter Festival Novices' Hurrdle at Fairyhouse and, given his background in points, it's notable that he makes an early switch to chasing for his return, so he's the one to side with for all that both Encanto Bruno and Rainbow Trail are other notable newcomers in this sphere.
