The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
IMPAIRE ET PASSE is very hard to get away from on his chasing debut. He has won six of his nine hurdle races including three at the highest level at Cheltenham, Punchestown and Aintree. He is a more than interesting recruit to chasing especially as Willie Mullins commented in a recent stable tour that he could be one for his Arkle squad. Staffordshire Knot was runner-up in a Grade 1 over flights at Aintree in April. He's had a kissing spine operation since then and could be better over fences. Waterford Whispers has reportedly schooled well over the bigger obstacles and should have a role to play, while O'moore Park and Now Is The Hour are others eyeing prize money.
A maiden chase with a good roll of honour and IMPAlRE ET PASSE can become yet another classy winner of the race. Now Is The Hour got some chase experience on his final start last season and might be the one to follow him home ahead of Waterford Whispers and Twoohthree.
It's hard to get away from the claims of IMPAIRE ET PASSE on chase debut who is in a different league to the rest of these

1st (5) (6/1 +50%) Sam Magee |
6/1(+50%) | (5) Sam Magee 6/1, 40/1, below form fourth of 12 in novice chase at Punchestown (16.6f, good) 45 days ago. Back up in trip for this handicap chase debut and he needs a second look. Although well beaten at Punchestown, the second won a Grade 2 at Punchestown last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (8/1 0%) St Denis's Well |
8/1(0%) | (3) St Denis's Well 8/1, 6/1, very good second of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly back up in trip and not without an each-way chance. Three-time chase winner but he looks very high in the weights at present. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (14/1 -40%) Toofareastiswest |
14/1(-40%) | (8) Toofareastiswest 14/1, Good 6 lengths second of 6 to General Hubble in handicap chase at this course (24.3f, good, 9/1) 18 days ago. Place possibilities. Behind General Hubble here latest; that winner went in again three days later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (10/3 +17%) General Hubble |
10/3(+17%) | (13) General Hubble 10/3, Ungenuine type. Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (24.3f, good, 6/5) 15 days ago, staying on well. Solid claims. Saw off Toofareastiswest here (11lb worse off) before following up three days later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (4/1 +50%) Pebble Bleu |
4/1(+50%) | (11) Pebble Bleu 4/1, Winner at Punchestown in October. Fifth of 7 in novice chase at Clonmel (20.8f, good to soft, 25/1) 23 days ago. One to consider. Ran well against different class of opposition in Listed grade and will find this easier. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (22/1 +33%) The Echo Boy |
22/1(+33%) | (1) The Echo Boy 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Ballinrobe in May. 10/1, last of 6 in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, good to firm) 56 days ago, possibly amiss. Others make more appeal. More needed but all of his wins have been off the back of a bad run so he's not out of it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/1 +44%) Well Del |
9/1(+44%) | (7) Well Del 9/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 18/1, very good sixth of 10 in novice chase at Punchestown (16.6f, good) 15 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut and another who makes some each-way appeal. Never figured in two subsequent starts after win; market will guide on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (11/1 -10%) Turbo |
11/1(-10%) | (12) Turbo 11/1, Won 8-runner handicap chase at Thurles (16.6f, good, 16/1) 9 days ago. Step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue and he has to be taken seriously. Won after layoff; still looks well treated on pick of his form but this is a deeper race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (20/1 -43%) Old Soul |
20/1(-43%) | (9) Old Soul 20/1, 15/2, eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Down Royal (26.2f, good to soft). Off 7 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Drop in trip might help but typically needs a run so the absence is a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (9/2 +10%) Shajak |
9/2(+10%) | (2) Shajak 9/2, Useful winner at 12f on the Flat. Creditable third of 9 in handicap chase (3/1) at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Enters calculations. Yard also saddles Ringdufferin and General Hubble. Slow jumps cost him on handicap chase debut; big player if he cuts out the errors. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ST DENIS'S WELL appeals on the back of a highly creditable runner-up berth in a handicap hurdle at Navan just under a fortnight ago, and he is a better chaser than hurdler. Gordon Elliott's General Hubble is climbing the ranks after two victories over fences at this track (under Toni Quail) and in Punchestown during November. If those exertions haven't left a mark, he would be a significant threat. His stablemate, Shajak, has been placed in his last three races over fences and should be competitive. Turbo overcame a very lengthy absence to score in Thurles last week. He did win nicely, but you'd have to be wary of the bounce factor with the 11-year-old gelding.
The vote goes to PEBBLE BLEU, who understandably found listed company too much at Clonmel and she is better judged on her Punchestown success on penultimate start. Turbo made light of a lengthy absence when striking at Thurles recently and, provided he is able to avoid the dreaded 'bounce' factor, another bold show could be on the way from this 11-y-o. The hat-trick seeking General Hubble is also accorded respect, along with stablemate Shajak.
Plenty here worth considering but a chance is taken on SAM MAGEE, who was chucked in at the deep end latest and will find this easier

1st (10) (8/1 +50%) The Folkes Tiara |
8/1(+50%) | (10) The Folkes Tiara 8/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in December. Eleventh of 17 in handicap chase at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft, 20/1). Off 7 months and he's probably worth taking on. Career-best at Leopardstown last winter but lost his way since and off 212 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (13/2 +59%) The King Of Prs |
13/2(+59%) | (9) The King Of Prs 13/2, Latest win in chase at Limerick in December. Below form fourth of 9 in handicap chase at this course (16.7f, heavy, 9/1). Off 8 months and looks vulnerable for win purposes. Won twice on testing ground last winter; lost way towards end of campaign; off 244 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 +22%) American Mike |
7/2(+22%) | (3) American Mike 7/2, 5/2, below form sixth of 18 in handicap chase at Navan (24.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago, finding little. Drop back in trip could be a good thing and will be a danger to all if on-song. Grade 2 novice winner last year; heavy defeats since including when well-backed for return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (28/1 -133%) Railway Hurricane |
28/1(-133%) | (8) Railway Hurricane 28/1, Unreliable individual. Latest win in chase at Wexford in July. 9/4, 12¼ lengths third of 4 to The Big Chap in handicap chase at Gowran (16f, good) 21 days ago, finding little. Has work to do. Won over extended 2m3f at Wexford in summer; didn't jump well when dropped to 2m latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (12/1 +52%) Dont Go Yet |
12/1(+52%) | (11) Dont Go Yet 12/1, Below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Galway (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. Won last year's return before a 3rd in this and respectable return over timber latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (13/2 -8%) Rebel Gold |
13/2(-8%) | (5) Rebel Gold 13/2, C&D winner. Creditable second of 17 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Cork (16.3f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Place possibilities. Gr 3 winner 2 seasons ago; respectable hurdle return and on fair mark back in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (11/1 -100%) The Big Chap |
11/1(-100%) | (4) The Big Chap 11/1, C&D winner. Seven wins from 27 NH runs. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap chase (5/2) at Gowran (16f, good) 21 days ago, driven out. This is more demanding but couldn't rule out all the same. 4-11 over fences; landed 4-runner h'cap latest but this is tougher from career-high mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (9/2 +0%) Uncle Phil |
9/2(+0%) | (2) Uncle Phil 9/2, C&D winner. Five wins from 17 NH runs. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap chase (11/1) at Ascot (16.8f, good) 28 days ago. High on the shortlist. Won from 8lb lower here in January; lost way prior to encouraging Ascot return; tough mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (7/1 +30%) Whiskeywealth |
7/1(+30%) | (6) Whiskeywealth 7/1, 15/2, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and he's in with an each-way shout. Chase winner from 125 last term but tough mark now and would probably prefer softer ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (10/1 -25%) Visionarian |
10/1(-25%) | (1) Visionarian 10/1, 19½ lengths fourth of 5 to Envoi Allen in Champion Chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft, 28/1) 28 days ago. Not without a chance in these calmer waters. One of 3 representing the Gavin Cromwell yard. 5-13 over fences; Gr 2 winner last month and ran okay in Gr 1 since; trip possibly sharp. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
VISIONARIAN ought to be a big player in this Listed handicap chase. He won a small-field Grade 2 at Gowran Park in October and that form was boosted when the runner-up came out and landed a Grade 3 in Punchestown. Visionarian then did as well as could be expected in fourth in a Grade 1 in Down Royal. American Mike is entitled to come on from his sixth in the Troytown on seasonal reappearance at Navan, especially as he ran well for a long way. Uncle Phil's last visit to Fairyhouse saw him scoop a Grade 3 handicap chase in January, while Jack Kennedy is a notable booking for The Big Chap who has won two of his last three over fences.
AMERICAN MIKE didn't find much when it came to the crunch on his recent reappearance at Naas but he's entitled to come on for that (was returning from an eight-month absence that day) and this drop back in trip could turn out to be a good move. Visionarian is of interest back in handicap company after contesting a Grade 1 at Down Royal and he is feared most ahead of Uncle Phil and The Big Chap.
REBEL GOLD has come down to a fair mark in this sphere and his promising return over timber should put him spot on for this

2nd (18) (12/1 +25%) Special Cadeau |
12/1(+25%) | (18) Special Cadeau 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. First run since leaving W. P. Mullins when below form fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 5/2) 66 days ago.

Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Should do much better in this sphere. Promising bumper form last term; future may be over further but can't be ruled out. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4/1 -100%) A Dream To Share |
4/1(-100%) | (1) A Dream To Share 4/1, Had an outstanding bumper campaign in 2022/23, winning all 5 starts, including championship events at Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring. Lost unbeaten record sole start last season but remains an exciting hurdling prospect. Dual Grade 1 bumper winner in 2023; turned over sole run last year; fascinating runner. |

Decouz when twelfth of 17 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 21 days ago. Won 3 on Flat in France but tailed off having not jumped fluently on hurdle bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (4) (250/1 -25%) Bridie's Beau |
250/1(-25%) | (4) Bridie's Beau 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 18/1) 21 days ago, not knocked about. Placed in 2 bumpers for Paul Nicholls but tailed off in 2 maiden hurdles for new yard. |

300/1(-50%) | (13) Kanpai 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, last of 8 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Hasn't shown enough in two maiden hurdles so far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22nd (20) (150/1 +0%) Theophilos |
150/1(+0%) | (20) Theophilos 150/1, Sixth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Roscommon (10.3f, good to firm), never nearer. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. 1-14 on the Flat and this is a tough introduction to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (40/1 +39%) Presenting Max |
40/1(+39%) | (16) Presenting Max 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Gerard Keane when third of 16 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 14/1) 28 days ago. Not without promise in 2 starts under rules so far; may improve when stepped up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A DREAM TO SHARE has to be of interest on hurdling debut after winning two Grade 1 bumpers among his substantial haul in that sphere. He is sure to be well schooled for this assignment, but will need to be on his game. Ballygunner Castle was the subject of a favourable report from Willie Mullins in a stable tour. Ideally, he would want further than this, but he did land a couple of bumpers in the spring. Don'tstopthemusic put a big field to the sword in a Punchestown bumper and that race has already thrown up a couple of maiden hurdle winners. Ballybow is match fit after striking in a Sligo bumper, while Sommesky, Harbour Highway and Ivybrook are others with claims.
Dual Grade 1 bumper winner A DREAM TO SHARE has seemingly had his problems but remains an exciting prospect now going hurdling. Fellow hurdling debutants Ballygunner Castle and Ballybow may emerge as the biggest threats.
Plenty of nice prospects here, notably A DREAM TO SHARE (nap) who won a high-class renewal of the 2023 Champion Bumper

1st (3) (5/2 +38%) Anzadam |
5/2(+38%) | (3) Anzadam 5/2, Authorized gelding who won a newcomers' event on hurdles debut at Bordeaux and much-improved when following up in juvenile event at Compiegne (16.9f) 13 months ago. Useful prospect now starting out for the powerful Willie Mullins yard with hood retained. Perfect 2-2 over hurdles in France; could be an exciting prospect for top yard; hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/4 +40%) Kala Conti |
6/4(+40%) | (5) Kala Conti 6/4, Useful hurdler who was 3 from 5 as a juvenile and posted a career-best display after 9 months off when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 4/1) 28 days ago. A repeat gives her obvious claims. Won 2m1f handicap hurdle at Down Royal on return and Jack Kennedy prefers her to Wodhooh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (18/1 -50%) Dodger Long |
18/1(-50%) | (4) Dodger Long 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 5/1, good 1¼ lengths second of 8 to Givemefive in minor event hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, good) 35 days ago. Meets that rival on 3 lb better terms here but this demands further progress in any case. Took a giant leap forward when splitting Givemefive and Bottler'secret at Cheltenham. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/1 -57%) Givemefive |
11/1(-57%) | (2) Givemefive 11/1, Useful hurdler who shaped encouragingly when runner-up on the level at Haydock (14f) in September and didn't need to improve on previous best in this sphere when proving 1¼ lengths too good for Dodger Long in class 2 event at Cheltenham 5 weeks ago. Likeable sort but more on his plate on these terms Got the better of Bottler'secret at Cheltenham but is 6lb worse off at the weights here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3/1 +14%) Bottler'secret |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Bottler'secret 3/1, Progressive on the Flat and excellent start over hurdles, landing back-to-back graded contests before an excellent second in Punchestown Grade 1 in May. Returned with a respectable 1¾ lengths third of 8 to Givemefive in minor event hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f) 35 days ago. In the mix. Better off at the weights with a couple of these on latest and any rain will be a big help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 -106%) Eagles Reign |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Eagles Reign 33/1, Fit from a pipe-opener on the Flat, posted a career best effort when doubling his tally in this sphere in 12-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 65 days ago, always holding on. Each-way claims now upped in class. Won the Lartigue at Listowel on his favoured soft ground; will need the heavens to open. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (100/1 -100%) Scotcantou |
100/1(-100%) | (7) Scotcantou 100/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 14/1, career best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Going the right way but this demands another marked step forward if he's to play a lead role. Dug deep when winning at Galway last month; likely to do better in handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BOTTLER'SECRET had Givemefive over 14 lengths behind when landing a Grade 2 over C&D on heavy ground last Easter, although the places were reversed on a sounder surface at Cheltenham last month where Dodger Long split the pair in second. Givemefive had the benefit of a prep run on the Flat before that latest win, while the selection should have progressed from the outing and now has 'home' advantage. Kala Conti won a Grade 2 at Leopardstown last Christmas and made a successful reappearance in a valuable handicap at Down Royal earlier this month, while Anzadam won both hurdle outings in France last year and market support would be significant.
KALA CONTI resumed progress after 9 months off when successful on handicap debut at Down Royal 4 weeks ago and a repeat can likely see her play a lead role once more back in graded company. Anzadam, who was unbeaten in 2 starts in France, is an obvious danger on debut for Willie Mullins, along with Bottler'secret. Wodhooh, who boasts a record of 5-5 over timber, isn't dismissed lightly either.
The promise of rain bodes well for the chances of BOTTLER'SECRET, who was behind Givemefive and Dodger Long at Cheltenham

2nd (6) (3/1 +14%) Apple's Of Bresil |
3/1(+14%) | (6) Apple's Of Bresil 3/1, Made the most of a good opportunity to open his account as a hurdler in 12-runner maiden at Gowran (20.2f, good) 56 days ago, unchallenged. Made all in style back up to this trip at Gowran last month; the type to keep on improving. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (11/2 +31%) Brave Fortune |
11/2(+31%) | (10) Brave Fortune 11/2, Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner minor event hurdle at Clonmel (19.2f, good to soft, evens) 23 days ago. This is obviously tougher but he's likely to give another good account. Got off the mark in style in Clonmel maiden hurdle this month; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (16/1 -60%) Run For Harry |
16/1(-60%) | (4) Run For Harry 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler who wasted no time getting back to form when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 17/2) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and likely to make presence felt. Bounced back from poor run when 3rd behind Sonny May at Gowran; each-way player. |

10/1(-54%) | (7) Disco Dancer 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler who again ran well when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Expected to be bang there again. Posted some good runs in defeat, including when just in front of Run For Harry at Gowran. |

6th (5) (9/4 +50%) Stormbreaker |
9/4(+50%) | (5) Stormbreaker 9/4, Fairly useful Flat winner who confirmed hurdling debut promise when landing 16-runner maiden at Listowel (18f, soft) 64 days ago, driven out. Stable in good form and could easily have more to offer. Got the better of stablemate Mr Escobar when landing Listowel maiden hurdle in September. |

7th (8) (25/1 -285%) Stuntman Steve |
25/1(-285%) | (8) Stuntman Steve 25/1, Made a successful debut over hurdles on first run since leaving L.

Looked a different horse when winning Clonmel maiden hurdle on first start for Cromwell. |

Sent off 125-1 in Grade 3 on first start for new yard at Navan; best watched. |

|PU| (11) (50/1 -52%) Desert Cave |
50/1(-52%) | (11) Desert Cave 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Kilbeggan in June but ran one of his lesser races when last of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Galway (21.9f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Kilbeggan winner over 3m but finished tailed off last in 2m6f handicap at Galway latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STORMBREAKER stayed well on the Flat, winning twice for James Fanshawe, and following a lengthy absence, has gradually progressed in three outings for current connections. The selection put in an improved round of jumping when landing a 2m2f maiden at Listowel and should be suited by this longer trip. Apple's Of Bresil has always been held in good regard and Barry Connell indicated he prefers conventional hurdles after easily winning a Gowran maiden last month. Disco Dancer (second) and Run For Harry (third) were only separated by a neck when placed behind Sonny May (won again since) at Gowran, while Palamon and Brave Fortune are others to consider.
DISCO DANCER ran another fine race when beaten only by a subsequent winner at Gowran 3 weeks ago, so he's the percentage call to go one better. Stuntman Steve and Stormbreaker are a couple of potential threats in an open-looking affair.
APPLE'S OF BRESIL took his form to new heights when bolting up over this trip at Gowran last month and should take all the beating

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FALCON EIGHT hasn't raced over hurdles for nearly two years but retains plenty of ability on the Flat and appears on a reasonable mark. The Dermot Weld-trained gelding has run only six times over flights, including being beaten less than a length when third in a Grade 2 over C&D, and was competing off a Flat rating of 101 when placed in a valuable 2m Naas handicap last month. Farmers Lodge showed promise in maiden hurdles before successfully switching to fences here earlier this year. He reverts to hurdles off an attractive rating compared to his chase mark, while others for the shortlist include In For The Night, Tonaghneave Well, Golden Joy and Old Bill Barley.
TONAGHNEAVE WELL found further progress when second in a Navan handicap last time and this longer trip is in his favour, so he gets the nod in a competitive event. Old Bill Barley, Aeros Lucm and Warm In Gorey are all feasible threats.
A bit of a lottery but the step up in trip should suit TONAGHNEAVE WELL and his recent consistency can be rewarded

4/1(+50%) | (1) Faithful Follower 4/1, Showed little in pair of bumper outings for Paul Hennessy during the spring but much improved starting out for new yard/after 6 months off when second of 7 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 28 days ago. May do better still. Left previous form behind when pulling a long way clear with smart rival at Down Royal. |

25/1(-25%) | (9) Whosethebestboy 25/1, El Kabeir gelding. Dam 11.3f/1½m winner on Flat. Yard no stranger to success with their runners in this sphere and significant if market vibes proved particularly positive. El Kabeir gelding; dam 1m3f/1m4f winner (RPR 84); not really bred for this. |

100/1(-100%) | (3) Hunsaker 100/1, Related to a host of winners on Flat but found himself less-than-ideally placed and never figured when fourth of 7 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. This should reveal more. Long way behind Faithful Flower when 4th in recent Down Royal bumper. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This race is run in memory of Gordon Elliott's uncle, Willie, and the Cullentra trainer mounts a strong challenge in his bid to win it for a third successive year. MA JACKS HILL was bought for 310,000 euro soon after beating Sortudo in a Dromahane point-to-point last April and that form received a timely boost when the runner-up won a Tramore bumper in good style on Tuesday. Koktail Brut has a similar profile having also been purchased (for 250,000) at the Punchestown Festival Sale after easily winning a point-to-point. You Proof, runner-up on his only point start for Pat Doyle, also represents powerful connections, while Faithful Follower had Hunsaker well behind when runner-up to the long odds-on Classical Creek at Down Royal.
The market should prove useful with a number having their first start under Rules but MA JACKS HILL was an expensive recruit from points and shades the vote with the Elliott yard having landed each of the last 2 runnings of this race. Willie Mullins' newcomer You Proof and the selection's stablemate Koktail Brut are others to consider. Faithful Follower looks the pick of those with previous bumper form and also commands respect.
The finale can go the way of FAITHFUL FOLLOWER who went close when pulling clear with a nice prospect at Down Royal earlier this month

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
