Everest The Brave (G)
Shantaram gelding. Dam ran once over hurdles/once in bumper. Off mark in points at second attempt (May 9) and is an interesting Rules newcomer for a major yard.

Mister Frostie (G)
Little solid form in bumpers and maiden hurdles. Had won in points (in Britain, for a different yard) but found it a struggle on chasing debut when pulled up in maiden hunter chase over C&D (soft) in March.

Vodka Splash (G)
[T1]
Winning pointer but could hardly have shown any less on his first start under Rules when tailed off in hunter chase at Tramore last month. Unplaced in a point since and a tongue tie goes on.

Idaho gelding who made an encouraging start to life in chases when second of 9 in hunter at this C&D (soft) in March, beating 3 of these that day. 4-9 in points, including wide-margin wins 24 hrs apart earlier in the month. Will prove a to…
