Very few of these will be making appeal for win purposes, BOLD EMPEROR ran a sound race last month at Gowran Park on debut behind the impressive Dandy Mag. He shouldn't meet anything of that ilk now and gets a credible chance to open his account at the second time of asking. Chosen Hour and Sticky Situation are worthy of mentions on their most recent bumper runs as they go jumping for the first time, market support behind either would be notable. Samuel French has joined a leading trainer ahead of his rules bow while Lyreen Lad would be one for the shortlist if gaining a run as first reserve.
