Gemini Man^b1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 48

3/1

Showed improved form when runner-up in a hurdle race before finally breaking his duck back on the Flat at Hamilton 18 days ago. Needs considering in first-time blinkers.

Higher Kingdom^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 50| D

3/1

Showed promise when third in 2 recent handicaps, including in a field of 20 at Naas. Seventh of 16 in 9f handicap at Leopardstown (12/1) 17 days ago, shaping as if back in form despite being slowly into stride. Should appreciate return to 1m and good chance on these terms.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 50| D

On The Bubble^p1⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 43| D

Yorkshire Glory²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam| OR: 48| BF

Decent placed efforts in handicaps at Musselburgh last 2 starts and current form makes him a big player.

Forecasts

Gemini Man (3/1), Higher Kingdom (3/1), Yorkshire Glory (9/2), Jumeira Vision (5/1), Angel Of The Bay (7/1), Desert Dream (8/1), Sandinyourshoes (9/1), One More Bottle (16/1), On The Bubble (22/1), Showmethewayhome (40/1), Selby's Joy (50/1), Woodrafff (66/1), Royal Emperor (125/1)

HIGHER KINGDOM shaped as if back in form at Leopardstown last time and has a good chance on these terms. Recent form counts for plenty in events such as this so Yorkshire Glory and Sandinyourshoes are feared most.
