Ar Ais Aris¹⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

11/5

£60,000 Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Burru. Dam (b93), dual bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2½m-2¾m winner) Smitty Bacall. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Nov 2025) and very much one to note now switching to Rules.

Form: 2

Cockle Bay Wharf

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: P Neville

20/1

Valirann gelding. Dam (h112) bumper/23f hurdle winner. Well worth a market check.

Fiskardo^t1⁶⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bowen| BF

14/1

Displayed ability when placed on both bumper starts in early 2024/25 but hasn't been seen since. First-time tongue strap applied.

Form: 32-

Kill Vanhowe¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jordan Gainford| T: A J Martin

7/2

Opened his account in points at the second attempt and make a perfectly encouraging start under Rules when runner-up in a Cork bumper (19f) earlier in the month. Leading chance if coping with the 3f shorter trip.

Form: 212

Ksar D'oudairies⁵⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen

4/1

£85,000 purchase after running out an easy winner of sole start in Irish points back in October 2024. Has taken a bit longer than might have been expected to make his debut under Rules but would need taking seriously if the betting speaks in his favour.

Form: 1-

Rock On Ronnie¹¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

4/1

€40,000 3-y-o, Capri gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Chicago Time and offered something to work on from a less-than-ideal position when seventh of 15 in 2m Wetherby bumper in December. Likely to improve.

Form: 7

Dolly Dior²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: P Neville

66/1

£1,000 Sir Percy mare who was held back by inexperience on her recent debut at Sedgefield. Needs a big step forward.

Form: 5

Effortless⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: R M Smith

28/1

€12,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam (h118) bumper/hurdle winner around 2m (stayed 19f). Finished equal third sole start in Irish points.

Form: 3

Hackley Bay

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith

125/1

Mahsoob gelding. Dam unraced. Others more persuasive on paper.

Form:

Shane's Spirit

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: S R B Crawford

9/1

Getaway gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Jet To Vegas, stays 21f, and fair 2½m chase winner Jet Setting Johnny. Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

Betterthanadream³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Stephen Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: Stephen Carlin

100/1

Offered little on last month's debut at Down Royal.

Forecasts

Ar Ais Aris (11/5), Kill Vanhowe (7/2), Ksar D'oudairies (4/1), Rock On Ronnie (4/1), Shane's Spirit (9/1), Fiskardo (14/1), Cockle Bay Wharf (20/1), Effortless (28/1), Dolly Dior (66/1), Betterthanadream (100/1), Hackley Bay (125/1)

KILL VANHOWE made an encouraging start under Rules when runner-up at Cork earlier in the month and has enough speed in his pedigree to suggest he can cope with the 3f shorter trip, so he's taken to go one better. Rock On Ronnie is likely to improve on his opening effort at Wetherby in December for a yard which has a tremendous record at this venue, while Shane's Spirit is a newcomer to note.
