Bobby's Nelson (G)
FAV
Promising novice who, having showed plenty when second on sole start between the flags and in a Chepstow bumper on Rules debut, made it third time lucky in this sphere with a decisive Ffos Las maiden (2½m, heavy) success last month. Remain…

Swindon Village (G)
Six-figure point purchase who was highly tried after making a winning bumper debut last season. Excellent start over hurdles, third in a strong Ffos Las maiden before running out a decisive winner at Leicester. Seemed not to get home upped…

Boultydoolin (G)
Fetched £95,000 after winning the second of his 2 starts in maiden points and this brother to bumper winner Cantico should certainly have a future under Rules. One to note in the betting on hurdles debut.

Ben Jones | Miss R Curtis | 6 | 70.8 kg |

Dante's Rocco (G)
Half-brother to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Southoftheborder and modest hurdler Shean Glory (2m-19f winner). Third on sole start between the flags and the market should be revealing ahead of this Rules debut.

Paddy Hanlon | S Hosie | 5 | 70.8 kg |

Mymilkman (G)
Runner-up both completed starts in Irish points but has shown little in a maiden/novice hurdle to date (irregular heartbeat in latter).

Stavanger Rose (M)
[T1]
Pulled up sole start in points last spring and probably best watched starting out over hurdles here. Tongue strap added.
