Horse silk
13/8
Arctic Cosmos gelding. Wears tongue strap. Clear when unseated last only outing in Irish points (Mar 2024), so looks a notable recruit to Rules.
|
Timeform
Telescope gelding. Dam, little impact in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 2¾m) College Oak.

Horse silk
5/1
Every chance when falling 2 out in an Irish point and offered something to work on when fourth in a bumper at Newton Abbot a couple of months ago. Could do better.
|
Timeform
£100,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Sub Lieutenant. Won sole start in Irish points (Apr 2024) and looks the one to beat on Rules debut.
|
Timeform
Walk In The Park filly. Dam, 6f 2-y-o winner in Sweden, sister to smart hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 25f) Lalor. Mixed pedigree but interesting if the market speaks in her favour.
|
Timeform
Expert Eye gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Anisette. Dam maiden on Flat. Not discounted.
|
Timeform
Gregorian gelding. Brother to fairly useful 7f winner Sesame Birah and half-brother to a winner. Dam 1½m winner. Should have the speed for this sort of test.
|
Timeform
Pether's Moon gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful French hurdler Yosille and fair 21f hurdle winner Miguel Angel. Worthy of respect.

Forecasts

Arctic Conditions (13/8), Talk To The Man (9/4), Bossman Jack (9/2), Kripticjim (5/1), Soul Limbo (13/2), Pethers Lane (9/1), Eton Mes (9/1), Special John (16/1), Pougie (20/1), Flash In The Pan (25/1), Olivia's Secret (25/1), False Impression (25/1), Seventeenothree (33/1)

Verdict

TALK TO THE MAN has joined top connections on the back of landing a point and he should take some stopping on his first go under Rules. Bossman Jack makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and Arctic Conditions is also worthy of respect based on what he's done between the flags.
