A Pai De Nom (G)
FAV
Made it 2-3 over hurdles when coming from off the pace to account for 17 rivals on his handicap bow at Cheltenham (21f, soft) last month. Couldn't be certain that he'll be suited by this drop in trip, particularly now returning to a small-…

North Of Richmond (G)
£75,000 buy who was runner-up only outing in Irish points and went one better on Rules debut in a 6-runner Bangor bumper in October 2024. Also made a winning start over hurdles on return at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) and while that form i…

Safely held in a couple of bumpers during the spring and readily passed over now sent hurdling.

Romany King (G)
[HT1]
£45,000 purchase after winning sole start in Irish points last December. Equipped with a hood (retained here; tongue strap now enlisted, too) when trailing in last of 10 on hurdles debut at Ffos Las where he raced keenly and dropped out ta…

Seaview Rock (G)
[H1]
Close third in a maiden point on sole run between the flags in February 2024. Subsequently sold for £72,000 and the market should point the way in terms of expectations ahead of this Rules debut.

Tread Carefully (G)
Runner-up in a Uttoxeter bumper in March and duly built on reappearance/hurdles debut promise when finding just one too good in a 2m Sandown maiden last month. Pulled nicely clear of the rest with the potentially useful winner that day and…
