8/11
Runner-up in a pair of Irish points last spring and looked a good prospect when landing a good-ground Sandown bumper in November. Much softer ground just seemed to stretch him when third there last month and big player back on a sounder surface.

€130,000 Walk In The Park gelding who offered something to work on when fourth of 6 on his Ascot debut in November. Given a bit of time since and rates a potential improver for a top stable in a good vein of form.

Cost £85,000 after finishing runner-up on both completed starts in Irish points. Interesting runner.

Promise on debut for Shark Hanlon in July 2023 but not seen again until well held at Huntingdon in January (for Clare Ellam). Fitted with a hood this time and can only watch after another stable change.

Jack Hobbs gelding who showed a fair level of ability when fifth of 12 on Huntingdon debut in January, staying on as the penny dropped. May do better.

€3,000 Blue Bresil mare. Dam bumper winner who is a half-sister to a couple of useful sorts. Yard 0-6 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. It's almost certainly best to look elsewhere.

Pillar Coral gelding. Dam, 10.5f winner in France, sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Saint Arvans. Best watched on debut unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Forecasts

Hurricane Pat (8/11), Calvino (4/1), Three Pikes (15/2), Crossgales King (17/2), Money To Burn (12/1), El Arco (33/1), Robin Blue Breast (80/1)

Verdict

HURRICANE PAT looked good under the sort of ground conditions he's likely to face here when scoring at Sandown back in November and can land a second bumper win. The Paul Nicholls-trained Calvino can give him most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Irish point recruit Crossgales King.
