It's a tightly-knit affair on paper compared to most renewals, with no standout on form, but JALON D'OUDAIRIES and Jasmin de Vaux may have the most potential, both point winners who have made a big impression so far under Rules. The Yellow Clay's connections had the runner-up in 2022 and they should be in the mix again with this 5-y-o, who caught the eye on his return at Leopardstown. Teeshan, a ready winner on Rules debut at Exeter, looks the pick of those trained in Britain.
