5/4

€10,000 3-y-o. Crystal Ocean gelding. Won sole start in Irish points (Nov 2025). Half-brother to very smart chaser Ball d'Arc and useful hurdler/chaser Riaan, both of whom won from 2m to 21f. Very interesting contender for top connections.

Masked Blagny²⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

13/2

A €75,000 buy who showed promise on debut when third of 7 in a bumper at Carlisle in February. Off 250 days since and up against a couple of likely newcomers here.

Form: 3-

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: Mrs C Williams

25/1

€15,000 yearling, €20,000 3-y-o. Motivator gelding. Needs the betting to speak in his favour to be of interest first time up.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen

15/8

€34,000 foal, €92,000 3-y-o. Yeats gelding. Easy winner on sole start in Irish points (Feb 2026) which makes him of some interest but that was a small-field affair and he may be up against it with the other pointing recruit here.

Form: 1-

Too Many Acres

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: P F Nicholls

13/2

€30,000 foal, €28,000 yearling, €125,000 3-y-o. Maxios gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Orbys Legend (winner up to 25f) and useful chaser Morning Spirit (3m winner). In the right hands to make a big impact first time up.

Roxy Rocks¹⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour

33/1

Offered little on debut at Taunton in March but did better when third of 5 at Exeter in April. Absent 177 days since and more needed.

Forecasts

Old Coast Road (5/4), Onetingfornuttin (15/8), Masked Blagny (13/2), Too Many Acres (13/2), Motivaspeed Essef (25/1), Roxy Rocks (33/1)

OLD COAST ROAD won his sole start in points and has the pedigree to make up into a useful sort for top yard so he's taken to prove too good for Too Many Acres unless the betting suggests otherwise.
