Berkie (G)
Berkshire gelding who was purchased for €60,000 after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points (May 2025). Interesting on Rules debut.

Doubly Blessed (G)
£65,000 4-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Home Made Hero and fair hurdler Doyen For Money. Wide-margin winner of sole start in Irish points (May 2025) and interesting switching to Rules given he's by a…

Poets Whisper (G)
FAV
€40,000 3-y-o, Poet's Word gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) Hatcher. Highly respected on debut for yard that has a fine record in this sphere.

Ellistrin Jarla (M)
Sent off 50/1 and went with no promise on last month's debut at Newcastle. Easy to look elsewhere now taking on the geldings.

Budworth Boy (G)
Falco gelding. Dam, 11.2f winner in France, half-sister to very smart hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 2½m) Master Dino and useful 2¼m hurdle winner Master d'Oc. Appeals on paper and the market should offer up some clues.

Peter Kavanagh | Ewan Whillans | 4 | 67.6 kg |

Don't Tell Dougie (G)
A cheap purchase (given pedigree) who was held back by inexperience when fourth of 6 at Doncaster on her debut last month. Entitled to step up on that but is up against some well-bred newcomers.

Jimmy The Jet (G)
£22,500 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Abuffalosoldier and fair hurdler/chaser River Vale. Dam, placed in point, half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stays 3m) Dals…
