Kadastral (G)
FAV
Physically imposing type who beat Talk The Talk when winning valuable bumper last season. Has twice chased home subsequent Supreme runner-up Sober Glory over hurdles (readily landed the odds at Newbury in between) and this looks a good opp…

Seaniecon (G)
Irish point winner went close on Rules debut at Ludlow before making heavy weather of landing the odds at Hereford (3m1f) last month. Remains with potential, though drop back in trip perhaps not ideal given he looks all about stamina.

Are You Joking (G)
Made frame both starts in Irish points in spring 2025 but last month's Rules debut at Wincanton suggests he's very much one for the longer term under Rules.

Barry Fife (G)
£25,000 buy after placing in both Irish points and took a step forward from his bumper form when runner-up in a 2m7f maiden at this course in March. Marked step back in trip suggests he could be a handicap project.

Dig Deep (G)
Point runner-up who filled same position first two starts under Rules, though hasn't progressed since, his physique/style of racing suggests he's very much a chaser in the making.

Dylans Moon (G)
Pether's Moon gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Vintage Fizz and bumper winner Fameaftertheglory. Market usually a good guide for this yard's debutants.

Lawtan (G)
[T1]
Midfield on completed hurdle start prior to making winning debut over fences at Maure-De-Bretagne in August. Picked up for €21,000 by new connections but this looks a tough ask reverted to hurdling.

Sims' Law (G)
Pulled-up on debut in January and Seaniecon clearly the stable's leading hope.
