Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: F Brennan

Neo King¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

6/1

Multiple point winner who ran to a fair level when second in a hunter chase at Down Royal (19.5f, soft) on NH debut in March. Changed hands for £20,000 in May ahead of this switch to hurdle. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

20/1

Point winner who failed to figure in an Aintree Grade 2 bumper in April but that was a tough assignment for his Rules debut and he retains potential now hurdling.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Nicky Martin

40/1

Cost £13,000 after winning the last of her 4 starts in Irish points (October 2023). It's taken a bit of time for new connections to get her to the track and a watching brief is advised unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Forecasts

Rosscahill (4/11), Wicked Thoughts (13/8), Andy Amo (9/2), Neo King (6/1), Babatunde (18/1), Small Town Hero (20/1), Jay Bee Whiskey (40/1), Magneticattraction (40/1), Jaunty Galaxy (200/1), Pennant Legacy (250/1), Prophet Squeeze (250/1)

Paul Nicholls bumper winner WICKED THOUGHTS gets the nod to make a successful start to his hurdle career, although a strong market move for Nigel Twiston-Davies Irish point winner Rosscahill would put a slightly different slant on things. Small Town Hero may prove best of the rest.
