11/2
Closely related to useful hurdler Steel Ally, and half-brother to French 19f chase winner Elite Rock. Something to work on when fourth at Sandown a couple of months ago and could do better for that initial experience.

100/1
Bred to have a future but sent off long odds and hasn't shown much to date.

Half-brother to French hurdler/chaser Fortune du Large and clear signs of ability when fourth at Plumpton first time out. Could step forward from that.

Timeform
17/2, shaped like a stayer when fourth of 10 in bumper at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in May. Not seen since and has something to find.

Forecasts

Giantsgrave (6/5), Douglas Hyde (2/1), Next Twist (11/2), Loch Na Keal (13/2), Twist Of Fatecatch (11/1), Falcao (16/1), Woodythewoodpecker (22/1), Pougie (100/1)

Verdict

LOCH NA KEAL is from a good family and represents a stable with an excellent record both at this track and in bumpers, so he gets the narrow vote over point recruit Giantsgrave. Douglas Hyde is the clear pick of those with experience in this discipline.
