13/8

Looked good prospect when winning at Chepstow on debut on sole start for Toby Bulgin before possibly finding conditions too much when tailed off in listed bumper at Ascot in December. Has had a breathing operation since and is down markedly in class.

A point winner who found only a potentially above-average sort too good on Rules debut in bumper at Huntingdon last month. Sets the standard of the pair with experience.

Forecasts

Black Eddy (13/8), Kildare D'irlande (9/4), Rene El Loco (3/1), Taranis Dubh (3/1), Buck Whaley (7/1), Clova Chocolate (25/1), Northerly (33/1)

TARANIS DUBH won his sole start in Irish points and can maintain his unbeaten record on first start under Rules. Kildare d'Irlande showed plenty first time up but may have to settle for second again, while Buck Whaley, another Rules debutant from an Irish pointing background, can also play a minor role.
