Runner-up both completed starts in Irish points but showed nothing when pulled up on Newbury hurdling debut. Up markedly in trip.
|
Fair form when in the frame both starts in bumpers 8 months apart (left Tom Weston after debut). Longer trip a likely plus on pedigree on hurdle debut.
|
Little form in bumpers and well held completed start over hurdles.
|
Placed both starts in points but lacks scope and has been well held both outings over hurdles.
|
Shaped like a stayer only start in bumpers and was still in need of the experience switched straight to hurdling when pulled up at Plumpton 33 days ago.

5,000 gns 7-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Oberon Moon. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Nov 2025).
€12,000 3-y-o, Idaho gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Diamondinthemud, stayed 2¾m, and fair chaser Leading Force. Easy winner when off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Mar 2025) and merits respect on Rules debut for top yard.
Useful in bumpers last season. Disappointing start to his hurdle career at Chepstow in October but did at least show more when fourth of 14 at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 29 days ago and appeals as the type to improve again now stepping up in trip.
|
Didn't show a great deal in a pair of bumpers and fared no better tried hurdling after 10 months off at Leicester 30 days ago.
|
Produced a promising first effort behind a couple of useful prospects when third of 13 in Chepstow bumper (2m, soft) on debut in November. Went backwards at Chepstow next time but bred to be suited by this longer trip now hurdling.
|
€62,000 Capri gelding. Dam (c104/h117), bumper/2m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 4m) Tanit River and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Newtown Boy. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 2025) and interesting hailing from an in-form stable.
£70,000 after winning his only outing in points and displayed a good turn of foot to also make a successful Rules in Taunton bumper back in February. Better form in defeat next 2 outings prior to disappointing in listed event at Ascot last time. One to note now going hurdling up in trip.

Forecasts
Sinchi Roca (9/4), Hydration Station (11/4), Seaniecon (5/1), Kilwaughter (5/1), A King Of Magic (13/2), Sailing By (12/1), Crest Of Valour (25/1), Fane Court (25/1), Pop's Folly (50/1), Badentaggart (66/1), Charlies Jetaway (100/1), Aberfeldy (100/1)
SINCHI ROCA has shown plenty in bumpers and comes from an excellent jumping family, so he appeals as the most persuasive option now stepping up to a trip that promises to suit. Kilwaughter shaped better than on his first hurdle start when fourth at Exeter last month and appeals as the type to do better again, with Hydration Station and Seaniecon a couple of winning pointers to note in the betting on their first outing under Rules.
