€35,000 No Risk At All gelding was gambled on and shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth of 12 in a Newcastle bumper on debut in March. Failed to justify favouritism at Kelso next time but was still green and retains potential now sent hurdling.

60,000 gns purchase after winning an Irish point at the second attempt and offered something to work on when a place behind Dilrisk in a Newcastle bumper on debut in March. Failed to progress at Kelso next time though, and will need to raise his game now switching to hurdling.

Runner-up sole start in an Irish point. Promise when fourth in a Carlisle bumper and 2m Ayr maiden hurdle on first 2 starts for Donald McCain but has been most disappointing on both outings since, labouring after the eighth at Bangor when last seen. Has had a breathing operation.

£58,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the fourth attempt last May but looks more of a longer-term project judged on his efforts at Kelso and Ayr last winter.

Won sole start in Irish points (Dec 2025). Wears tongue strap for Rules debut having already had a breathing operation.

€62,000 3-y-o, Arrigo gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Inthepocket. Has a good pedigree and needs a close look in the betting.

£24,000 Arrigo gelding who finished runner-up on his sole start in points and shaped like a stayer when third of 7 in 2m bumper at Hexham (good to soft) in April. Possibly more one for handicaps and/or longer trips later on.

Jet Away gelding who showed promise when placed in a pair of junior bumpers last season. That's a sound platform on which to build now going jumping.

Forecasts

Push The Limit (4/5), Johnny Moonshine (11/2), Farfromaway (13/2), Dilrisk (7/1), Watery Borren (17/2), Aye Over Tee (12/1), Striking Midnight (28/1), Eagle Warrior (33/1), Old Comrades (80/1), Moorhead (80/1), Cinnamon Storm (200/1), Argentum (250/1), Lecanvey Lady (300/1)

Verdict

It's hard to look past PUSH THE LIMIT, who admittedly has a year-long absence to overcome on his hurdling debut but showed smart form on the Flat for Ralph Beckett in 2025 and was sold for a whopping 580,000 gns. Aye Over Tee is bred to make a useful jumper and warrants a close look in the betting, while Dilrisk and Striking Midnight are a couple with frame claims having shown some promise in bumpers last season.
