€28,000 3-y-o, £115,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Theflyingking. Runner-up sole start in Irish points in December 2025 and makes appeal on Rules debut.

16/1

Made the frame in 2 bumpers earlier in the year, though it was disappointing that he couldn't match his debut effort last time. Market best guide now switched to hurdling.

Genietoile²³⁷

5/1

Maiden under Rules. Made frame twice over hurdles in 2023/24 and, after returning from nearly 2 years off, was placed on both completed starts over fences last season. Fell here when last seen in March (has since had another breathing operation) and entitled to be thereabouts back hurdling.

£40,000 5-y-o, Berkshire gelding. Half-brother to 11.6f winner Silver Atom. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 11.5f). Flat bred who was successful on sole start in points in April. However, the runner-up has failed to uphold that effort in both starts under Rules.

40/1

Milan gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Don't Touch It. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and betting may provide more clues of what's expected on debut.

20/1

Walk In The Park mare. Half-sister to fair hurdle/useful chase winner David's Well. Off mark in points at second attempt in March. Makes some appeal on paper and worth a market check.

Forecasts

Debrave Soldier (11/10), Karaka De Thaix (5/2), Genietoile (5/1), Fine Tuning (16/1), Titi Montmartre (18/1), Espiritu Park (20/1), Churchstone Rover (33/1), Itsyourcall (33/1), Put The Lights On (40/1), Ignite The Spark (100/1)

KARAKA DE THAIX might have been off the track for a while but made such a good impression when winning in points (subsequently sold for ten times more than his 3-y-o sales price) that he gets the nod on Rules debut. Debrave Soldier can't be ignored given connections, with Titi Montmartre another to consider.
