Selected odds by:

Eternal Angel

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

9/4

€140,000 3-y-o, Authorized gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Eternal Army and a winning jumper in USA. Dam maiden on Flat. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Flimsy Nosebag¹⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

16/1

Only a glimmer of promise in bumper at Warwick 6 months ago and is probably more one for the longer term.

Form: 7-

Hurricane Pat¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore

10/1

£40,000 4-y-o, Kalanisi gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to Auronzo (2m-2¼m hurdle/chase winner in Italy) out of prolific Italian jumps winner Fedian. Runner-up both starts in Irish points in spring 2024.

Kajikia^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jay Tidball| T: P F Nicholls

10/3

€120,000 3-y-o, It's Gino gelding. Dam 17f French hurdle winner. One for shortlist on debut given connections. Wears hood.

Oakley's Way²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| BF

5/1

Promising third of 9 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy, 15/8) on NH debut in December, running green. Hampered and fell next time but remains with potential after 7 months off.

Form: 3F-

Santorini Grey

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss S Smith

10/1

€5,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam placed in points, out of winning hurdler over 2¾m/3m Miss Plum. Likely to need further and he's not an obvious sort on paper.

Youdecide²⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

9/2

€28,000 3-y-o, £90,000 4-y-o, Mahler gelding. Closely related to Doonbeg Don. Won only start in Irish points (Feb 2024). Interesting Rules newcomer for stable that has a solid start to the campaign.

Miss Ireland^p1⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs L Richards

11/1

Pulled up both starts in points but proved an entirely different proposition when landing a 6-runner Fontwell bumper 55 days ago. Went in snatches that day, however, and this should prove tougher.

Form: P-P1

Forecasts

Kajikia (3/1), Eternal Angel (7/2), Miss Ireland (4/1), Oakley's Way (5/1), Youdecide (7/1), Draco Malfoy (10/1), Hurricane Pat (12/1), Santorini Grey (25/1), Flimsy Nosebag (50/1)

DRACO MALFOY fetched six figures after landing the second of his two starts in points and his in-form stable should have him well forward for this first go under Rules, so he takes preference over Eternal Angel and Kajikia, who both represent top yards. Youdecide is another interesting point recruit.
