10/11

€64,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, Frontiersman gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Bothar Dubh. Off mark in points at second attempt (Nov 2024) and very much one to consider starting out for yard with a 16% strike rate with their runners in this sphere in last 5 seasons.

16/1

Offered something to work on when runner-up on debut at Fontwell (17.7f) last December but couldn't replicate that when fourth of 5 in bumper at Fakenham (2m) in February. The track possibly didn't suit ideally then and he may yet have more to offer this season.

Form: 24-

Le Roi Remi

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis

12/1

Prince Gibraltar gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Full Back and French 2¼m hurdle winner Dimana. Ran in void point (Apr 2025) and the betting can likely point the way on Rules bow.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: A Irvine

50/1

Pether's Moon gelding who showed more than he had on debut without achieving much in form terms when well held third of 7 in bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) in March, going in snatches. Will need to step up plenty on that if he's to figure here.

Form: 83-

Pic N Mix

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Michael Keady

18/1

Gemix gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including bumper winner/fair hurdler Champoleon and fairly useful 2¼m hurdle winner in France Robin Hill. Not without appeal on paper so confidence behind in the market would look interesting on debut.

Form:

Road To Nirvana

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: Michael Keady

40/1

Nirvana Du Berlais gelding. Dam, maiden hurdler in France, 8.2f winner on Flat. Betting can prove a useful guide as one of 2 runners from this yard.

Form:

Saint Invictus^h1²⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: S Hosie

4/1

£95,000 buy after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points (Feb 2025). Hooded for Rules debut. Needs checking out in the betting with Harry Cobden an eye-catching booking.

Form: 2-

Connies Hill¹⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: N de Boinville| T: Nick Scholfield

12/1

Notnowcato mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Little Red Lion and fair 3m chase winner Port O'Clock. Dam point winner. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 2025) and she's one to note on Rules debut.

Form: 3-1

Maria Mes

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

11/2

Nirvana Du Berlais filly. Dam French hurdler/chaser (17f winner). In-form stable boast a healthy 23% strike rate with their runners in this sphere and she's well worthy of consideration on racecourse bow.

Forecasts

Dropematthestation (10/11), Saint Invictus (4/1), Maria Mes (11/2), Le Roi Remi (12/1), Connies Hill (12/1), Graeme The Grey (16/1), Pic N Mix (18/1), Road To Nirvana (40/1), Monansunu (50/1)

The betting should prove an informative guide but point winner DROPEMATTHESTATION appeals as a likely type representing the Ben Pauling stable and earns the vote ahead of fellow newcomers Maria Mes, Connies Hill and Saint Invictus in that order of preference before market clues.
