Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: P W Wadge| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

12/1

Half-brother to fairly useful 19f hurdle winner Burton Boru and fair hurdler Lucky Viv. Runner-up sole start in Irish points last March but he didn't show much in the way of immediate promise on Rules debut in a bumper here last month. One of 3 representatives from his yard.

Form: 2-6

All One Word²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

150/1

Took a long time to make his Rules debut after being placed in an Irish point in April 2023, looking very much a stayer when a tailed-off sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter in January. Similar display at Kelso next time and he's probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 3/69

Betteryouthanme³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith

150/1

Little impact in points and he's hard to warm to starting out under Rules here. Yard also saddles Cavalry Call.

Form: UP8F6-F

Cavalry Call⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R M Smith

150/1

Fair handicapper at best on the Flat (stays 11.5f) for the Crisfords, but little impact for current stable in that sphere. Probably best watched now switched to hurdles.

Dahab³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly

50/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) but recent efforts in that sphere have lacked spark and he was well held on sole previous start over hurdles in October 2024.

Form: 0-

Dublinofficecallin¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans

80/1

Encouraging debut bumper fourth at Catterick in December but has failed to build on that since, making little impact on recent hurdles debut.

Form: 56-466

Hourman¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

100/1

Showed some promise when fourth in a Hexham bumper on debut in October but it's been a struggle both starts switched to hurdles since and he's another who will likely be better off in handicaps later on.

Form: 467

Lance Les Des²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N W Alexander| OR: 107

11/4

Yet to get his head in front from 7 starts under Rules but he been placed on 4 of his 5 runs over hurdles, including when going close in a Kelso handicap (16.2f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Should be in the mix.

Form: 3/37-332

Largy Go²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| BF

8/13

Fetched £305,000 after winning an Irish point last March and showed plenty to work on making hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, heavy) last month, finishing second in a 10-runner maiden. Big player with improvement on the cards.

Form: 1-2

Maiori⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ryan Mania| T: A Nicol

8/1

Successful on second of his 2 outings in Irish points and the market should point the way ahead of this Rules debut.

Form: P-1

Minutes To Spare

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

15/2

€90,000 half-brother to useful hurdler Came From Nowhere and fairly useful hurdler Farfromnowhere. Dam unraced out of useful 2m hurdle winner Tramp Stamp. Likely type on paper and needs a close look in the betting.

Form:

Walk On Son⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 102

33/1

Best effort when third in a Carlisle novice in October and left with too much to do when fourth of 9 at Newcastle novice next time. Perhaps shouldn't be judged too harshly on latest effort at the same course (said to have been treated for post-race heat stress) but improvement needed here.

Form: 89-734P

Forecasts

Largy Go (8/13), Lance Les Des (11/4), Minutes To Spare (15/2), Maiori (8/1), Allfor (12/1), Walk On Son (33/1), Dahab (50/1), Dublinofficecallin (80/1), Hourman (100/1), All One Word (150/1), Betteryouthanme (150/1), Cavalry Call (150/1)

Point winner LARGY GO shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut in this sphere at Lingfield and, likely to be wiser this time, he is taken to go one better. Newcomer Minutes To Spare, who also sports the green and gold McManus hoops, ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour, while Lance Les Des continues to knock on the door and should make his presence felt once again.
