11/1

Crystal Ocean gelding. Dam, poor maiden hurdler, closely related to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Indian Castle. Bred to stay well and shaped in kind in a Newton Abbot bumper on debut 23 days ago, outpaced from home turn.

5/6

Poet's Word gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdle winner around 2m Laganhill. Dam (b96), bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 21f) Wishfull Thinking. Runner-up in Irish point and needs a close look in the betting ahead of Rules debut.

Form: 2-

Professor Peppy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White

40/1

Dabirsim gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat in France. Hails from a stable going well and would enter calculations if supported.

16/5

Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam (c128/h121) 2¾m/3m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 27f). Interesting newcomer for top stable.

200/1

Maxios filly. Half-sister to fair chaser Colmers Hill, stayed 3¼m. Bred more for stamina than speed.

Forecasts

No Walkover (5/6), St James's Finest (16/5), Bande Organisee (13/2), Half Hoping (11/1), Crystal Orchard (11/1), Lipstick (22/1), Monsun Climate (25/1), Maximum Benefit (33/1), Professor Peppy (40/1), Digger One (80/1), Rob's Spirit (200/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar all that high, so this looks ripe for a Rules newcomer and NO WALKOVER could be the one to side with. He finished a promising second on his sole outing in Irish points earlier in the year and is out of a bumper winner, so seems to have plenty going for him. St James's Finest and Lipstick are other likely types on pedigree who warrant close market inspection.
