Placed on the second of 2 starts in Irish points but refused to settle starting out under Rules in a tongue strap when finishing a well-held fifth of 8 at Musselburgh last month.

Shirocco gelding who ran to a similar level as on debut when sixth of 15 in C&D bumper (soft) 35 days ago. More needed for win purposes.

Timeform
Offered little on last month's C&D debut.

Timeform
£135,000 Jukebox Jury gelding who was successful on sole outing in Irish points. Dam (h92), point winner/placed over hurdles (stayed 2½m), sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Gunsight Ridge and fairly useful hurdler (stays 19f) Itwasfate. Noteworthy newcomer to Rules.
Timeform
Produced a promising first effort when second of 10 in bumper at Ffos Las in April. Below that level in a stronger race at Cheltenham in October but wasn't ideally placed so worth another chance to build on debut promise.

Timeform
Is bred to stay well and shaped in kind when sixth of 11 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, soft) on debut 78 days ago. Will be of more interest at longer trips over jumps.

€185,000 Harzand gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Arizona Cardinal and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Destroytheevidence. Shaped with bags of promise when faring best of those held up on his Chepstow debut 56 days ago and seems sure to improve.

Timeform
Linda's Lad gelding. Dam (c90/h94) 21f/2¾m hurdle/chase winner. Wears hood.
Timeform
Cloudings gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Spin The Coin, stayed 2¼m. Dam point winner out of useful hurdle/fairly useful chase winner up to 21f Image de Marque II.
Timeform
Showed more than first time up when fourth of 15 in bumper (50/1) at this C&D (soft) 35 days ago, keeping on. Has solid each-way claims with a repeat.

€12,000 3-y-o, €20,000 5-y-o, Affinisea mare. Dam unraced, out of 3m hurdle winner Wild Rhubarb.
Timeform
King Edward gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Aniknam and fair hurdler Grooveur. Yard sent out a bumper winner at Exeter earlier in the month, so needs a market check.

Forecasts

Presley (11/8), Midnight Jukebox (5/2), Static Charm (8/1), Presentandcorrect (10/1), Not Without Danger (10/1), Hurlyburly (14/1), Port And Brandy (20/1), Mac Gayveur (25/1), Silver Cirrus (33/1), Prince Phil (33/1), Executive Producer (50/1), Marble Sky (100/1)

Verdict

The well-bred PRESLEY shaped with bags of promise in faring best of those held up in a good-quality bumper at Chepstow on his debut last month, so is a straightforward choice to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Of the opposition, Midnight Jukebox is a noteworthy Rules debutant having joined shrewd connections following an Irish point win, while Not Without Danger is worth another chance to build on his initial promise.
