(5)  (10/11 -36%)Mr Escobar |
10/11(-36%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mr Escobar 10/11, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) and he wasn't disgraced without looking straightforward when tenth in Cesarewitch at Newmarket (18f) back in October. However, he has to merit serious consideration now his attentions switch to hurdles for his leading Irish stable. Fairly useful Flat-racer; represents top Irish stable; makes hurdling debut today. |
|||
(1)  (11/4 +8%)Boyles Hill |
11/4(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Boyles Hill 11/4, Successful on second of his 2 starts in points and having finished runner-up on bumper debut in April, he ran creditably when third of 13 on hurdles debut in a Ffos Las maiden (15.8f) a month later. Claims here with progress anticipated. Irish point winner; sound effort when third on hurdle debut; has a big role to play here. |
|||
(4)  (11/2 -22%)Manowest |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Manowest 11/2, £6,500 6-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam, ran once over hurdles/once in bumper, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chase winner (stayed 2½m) Golan Guy. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 6). Goes hurdling now for very good stable and he commands a second look. Bought for £6,500 after Irish point win in May; market may point the way on rules debut. |
|||
(9)  (9/1 +10%)Miss Goldfire |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Miss Goldfire 9/1, Made a winning bumper debut in March 2023. Seen only twice since and she looked badly in need of the experience when tenth of 13 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) on hurdles bow 60 days ago. In good hands and this should reveal more. Looked promising in bumpers but lacked fluency and was always behind on her hurdling debut. |
|||
(3)  (33/1 -106%)Killard Point |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Killard Point 33/1, €32,500 3-y-o, Kitkou gelding. Dam 17f hurdle winner in France, also 1½m winner on Flat. Off mark in points at sixth attempt (May 26). Betting should prove a useful guide on Rules/hurdles debut. Off the mark in points at ninth attempt in May; makes rules debut here. |
|||
(6)  (40/1 -21%)Too Sharp |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Too Sharp 40/1, Teofilo gelding who offered little in trio of juvenile hurdles in Ireland during 2022/23 campaign. Will likely hold more chance once sent handicapping for new stable. Soundly beaten on three Irish hurdles in 2022-23 season; makes stable debut today. |
|||
(11)  (66/1 -100%)Granny Smith |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Granny Smith 66/1, Unplaced on her sole outing in points and only minor promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers in recent weeks. Probably best watched on hurdles debut. Well down the field in Worcester bumper a fortnight ago; makes hurdling debut today. |
|||
(7)  (66/1 -32%)Stage Show |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Stage Show 66/1, Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1½m, not seen to best effect on latest start in that sphere at Lingfield 16 days ago. Looked badly in need of experience when making hurdles debut at Stratford previously and he's best watched at present. Fair on the Flat but made jumping errors and was well-beaten 50-1 shot on hurdle debut. |
|||
(8)  (66/1 -32%)Ask Her Out |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ask Her Out 66/1, Fair bumper winner but looks a likely type for handicaps in this sphere judged on her exploits in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months. Shock bumper winner in November but has not shown enough on her first two hurdling starts. |
|||
(2)  (150/1 -50%)Johnnie River |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Johnnie River 150/1, Telescope gelding out of 1½m-1¾m winner who stayed 16.5f. Well held only start in bumpers/on Flat to date. Tailed off on bumper debut in October and also struggled on the Flat in Jersey last month. |
|||
(12)  (150/1 -50%)What An Icon |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) What An Icon 150/1, Poor maiden on Flat who has offered little over hurdles so far. Looks set for another struggle returned to maiden company. Safely held off lowly mark in 2m1f handicap here last month; now 0-7 over hurdles. |
|||
(10)  (150/1 +0%)Mutley Crew |
150/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mutley Crew 150/1, Mutathir mare. Dam ran twice on Flat. 66/1, could hardly have shown any less on her belated debut when ninth of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (16.8f, good, 66/1) 31 days ago, losing touch long way out. Readily passed over. Lacked fluency and was tailed off when 66-1 for debut here (2m1f) a month ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having placed in third on his hurdles bow at Ffos Las in May, BOYLES HILL should put that experience to good use. The son of Watar has also proven himself in soft underfoot conditions in the past, and he rates the one to beat. Market support for fellow point-to-point winner Manowest would be interesting on his Rules debut and the six-year-old warrants respect, but the Willie Mullins-trained Mr Escobar may give the selection most to think about on his first outing in this sphere.
MR ESCOBAR didn't always look straightforward when campaigned on the Flat but his leading Irish stable looks to have found a very good starting point now his attentions switch to timber and he gets the nod to come out on top. Boyles Hill, following his encouraging Ffos Las third, and point-scorer Manowest can provide chief resistance.
Hurdling debutant MR ESCOBAR, who was fairly useful on the Flat and is a rare runner here for champion trainer Willie Mullins.

(1)  (11/10 -38%)In This World |
11/10(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) In This World 11/10, Flat/hurdles winner in 2021 and immediately improved for the switch to fences in recent months, building on a series of runners-up efforts when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f) 3 weeks ago, well on top finish. Big shout again. Reeled in clear leader to win at Worcester last month and probably still has potential. |
|||
(3)  (2/1 +43%)Feel The Pinch |
2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Feel The Pinch 2/1, Prolific since joining present stable, successful 5 times during 2023 and confirmed he's at the top of his game when going in again over hurdles here (16.8f) 10 days ago, driven clear between last 2. Not discounted back over fences for all his revised mark demands more. Won readily over hurdles here last week; obvious contender on return to chasing. |
|||
(2)  (7/2 +22%)Opening Bid |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Opening Bid 7/2, Won 5 times over fences last term (including over C&D) and he's returned to pick of his form in recent weeks, fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m) 15 days ago. 3 lb above last winning mark but respected in any case. Very creditable fourth off this mark in valuable race at Uttoxeter two weeks ago. |
|||
(4)  (10/1 -54%)Silent Revolution |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Silent Revolution 10/1, Had wind op/tongue strap on for 1st time when respectable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (20.5f) in December. However, not matched that either start since, running no sort of race returned to this sphere at Warwick in May. Needs to leave that well behind. Useful hurdler when on song but has looked dicey in both his chases. |
|||
(5)  (40/1 -60%)L'impertinent |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) L'impertinent 40/1, Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner for Enda Bolger in 2022. Record distinctly mixed for Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero and pulled up on debut for new yard in a C&D handicap 31 days ago. Good deal to prove. Pulled up over C&D on last month's stable debut and has become hard to predict. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
IN THIS WORLD built on a trio of runner-up efforts when opening his account over fences at Worcester. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding was value for further that day and a 6lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him from completing the double. Fellow last-time-out winner Feel The Pinch scored on the hurdle track at this venue and the switch to chasing shouldn't prevent another bold bid. He is feared most, ahead of Opening Bid.
IN THIS WORLD has taken well to this discipline and produced a professional display when opening his account in good style at Worcester 19 days ago, leading run-in and well on top finish. He can defy the handicapper and follow up. Opening Bid and Feel The Pinch, who has built up an impressive strike rate for his present yard, rate next best.
A commendable fourth off this mark in a competitive race at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago, OPENING BID might dominate from the front here.

(5)  (7/5 +65%)Melton Mossy |
7/5(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Melton Mossy 7/5, Made a winning handicap debut over 2m at Ffos Las for Laura Horsfall in May and followed up in similarly ready fashion at Worcester on first start for Evan Williams. Didn't have chance market suggested from out of the weights here 10 days ago and he's back on his correct mark this time. Improving 5yo who is 2-3 in handicaps and needs to be taken very seriously. |
|||
(3)  (9/4 -29%)Winterwatch |
9/4(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Winterwatch 9/4, Three-time winner on the Flat who finally got off the mark over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces in 10-runner handicap here over 18.5f in May. Held back by a mistake when third back in novice company at Stratford but he ought to be bang there in this. Placed in Stratford novice since emphatic handicap win here in May; in the mix again. |
|||
(1)  (4/1 -167%)Clearance |
4/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Clearance 4/1, Smooth-traveller who added to his terrific course record when scoring cosily over 16.8f a month ago. 3 lb rise perfectly so he's probably the one to beat in hat-trick bid. Six-time course winner; as good as ever this spring and commands respect. |
|||
(2)  (10/1 -54%)Manor Park |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Manor Park 10/1, Three-time C&D winner who has yet to fully find his feet for this yard but fitted with a hood, he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 7 over C&D 10 days ago. Seemed to respond quite well to headgear switch when close fourth here last week; a player. |
|||
(4)  (20/1 +39%)Cillians Charm |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cillians Charm 20/1, Fairly useful form at best in Ireland, but after a 14-month absence, he's yet to prove that he retains this much ability for this yard. Cheekpieces replace hood. Looked out of sorts in three handicaps for this new stable last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The hat-trick seeking Clearance warrants respect in his current heart and the son of Authorized is likely to give another good account of himself. However, he hasn't always performed to his best on a slower surface, and this could prove a suitable opportunity for WINTERWATCH to regain the winning thread. Harry Fry's charge performed creditably behind a subsequent winner in a novice hurdle at Stratford last month and this return to handicap company will suit. Melton Mossy also enters calculations dropping in class.
You can set your watch by CLEARANCE over this C&D, and back from a short break up 3 lb, the hat-trick looks on the cards. Winterwatch should be a factor returned to handicap company, while better is expected of Melton Mossy back on his correct mark.
There is more to come from MELTON MOSSY (nap), who won his first two handicaps comfortably and was not discredited here last week.

(6)  (5/4 +38%)Limerick Leader |
5/4(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Limerick Leader 5/4, Fair hurdler but just a modest maiden handicap chaser for Rose Dobbin. However, still interesting runner off potentially lenient mark for new connections here. Bought for £24,000 after giving decent account for Rose Dobbin at Perth in May; yard debut. |
|||
(2)  (7/4 +7%)Begin The Luck |
7/4(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Begin The Luck 7/4, C&D winner who posted his best effort for current yard when good second of 13 in handicap chase at this C&D (good, 8/1) 20 days ago. Solid claims. 4-11 over fences; went close over C&D last month and is probably still on a workable mark. |
|||
(1)  (5/1 +29%)Imac Wood |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Imac Wood 5/1, Three chase wins last season but not at best on his last 3 starts, back hurdling latest. Won three good-ground chases last season but his form has slumped since. |
|||
(5)  (6/1 -20%)Lelant |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lelant 6/1, Fair form without success over hurdles but not so good over fences so far, though better than bare result over C&D latest. Eased 4 lb. 0-3 over fences and 0-12 overall but didn't run badly when well-held third here in June. |
|||
(3)  (11/1 -120%)Fat Sam |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fat Sam 11/1, Took a heavy fall over C&D last summer and been below form since, though more of an impact of reduced mark when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good, 10/3) 13 days ago. Won this in 2022; on the downgrade now but returns here after very respectable recent run. |
|||
(4)  (66/1 -100%)Naeva |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Naeva 66/1, Fair form in France, winning 3 claiming events over hurdles/fences in 2022. Understandably struggled in a Cheltenham Grade 2 on debut for this yard in January 2023 but offered little returning from 17 months off over hurdles here 31 days ago. Pulled-up over hurdles here last month, after a long layoff; current ability hard to gauge. |
|||
(7)  (80/1 +20%)Hedgehopper |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hedgehopper 80/1, Maiden pointer and no form under Rules. Miles out of the handicap. Placed in maiden points this spring but makes only limited appeal on this rules return. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BEGIN THE LUCK found only an unexposed chaser too strong over C&D last month and this looks a good opportunity to go one better. That said, previous C&D winner Fat Sam continues to edge down the weights and there was encouragement to be drawn from his recent Stratford fourth. Limerick Leader showed up well for a long way at Perth in May and recent wind surgery could spark some improvement.
LIMERICK LEADER is potentially on a nice mark starting out for an in-form yard so could be the answer. Begin The Luck was an excellent second over C&D 3 weeks ago and is a solid alternative.
Olly Murphy's new recruit LIMERICK LEADER has been given a wind op and might capitalise upon a career-low mark here.

(9)  (2/1 +43%)Eurkash |
2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Eurkash 2/1, Only win for Paul Webber came back in 2020 but has a basement mark to work with having switched to James Owen. The booking of Harry Cobden takes the eye. Gets the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the market speak in his favour. Has modest strike-rate but makes debut for new stable on very good mark; interesting. |
|||
(4)  (7/2 +13%)Culligran |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Culligran 7/2, Placed in all 3 handicaps this summer, including C&D. Likely to be on the premises again. Placed in all three handicaps, most recently when close third off this mark a week ago. |
|||
(1)  (4/1 -33%)Getmetothemoon |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Getmetothemoon 4/1, Justified support in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (2m, good) In June. 13 days ago. Backed that up with a creditable third over 17f here a fortnight later. Got to be high on the shortlist. Opened account last month and has run well in defeat here since; still has potential. |
|||
(6)  (15/2 -36%)Seren Y Teigr |
15/2(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Seren Y Teigr 15/2, Showed first worthwhile form when second of 10 in 2m Ffos Las handicap in May. Claims if he can build on that. Improved form when second at Ffos Last in May, his second handicap; might progress again. |
|||
(8)  (18/1 -80%)Sevenofus |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sevenofus 18/1, Remains a maiden after 18 runs but her latest course hurdle third over 21.5f was respectable. Back down in trip. Placed over 2m5f here recently but now 0-18 under rules, and her limitations are exposed. |
|||
(7)  (18/1 +28%)Lion's Vigil |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lion's Vigil 18/1, Poor maiden who has had plenty of chances in handicaps. Easy to look elsewhere. 0-12 over hurdles; ran well over C&D in May but others appeal more all the same. |
|||
(2)  (20/1 -43%)Oval Street |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Oval Street 20/1, Multiple point winner but only modest form in varied events under Rules so far, finishing sixth of 10 in 2m Stratford novice handicap hurdle 4 weeks ago. 0-9 under rules but ran much better than bare form of 17l defeat suggests last time. |
|||
(3)  (20/1 +20%)Palawan Du Mazet |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Palawan Du Mazet 20/1, Little encouragement so far, including handicap debut in March. Could only consider if backed after 4 months off. Never dangerous when 66-1 for handicap debut in March but still worth a market check here. |
|||
(11)  (25/1 -79%)Alduni's Girl |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Alduni's Girl 25/1, Beaten a long way on all starts but this is her first handicap. Modest fourth in one of her three juvenile hurdles; handicap debut today. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 -213%)Captain Bill |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Captain Bill 50/1, No encouragement in a bumper/3 hurdles. Low-grade handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance but first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) will still need to spark major improvement. Has lowly mark for handicap debut but still needs to improve; headgear switched. |
|||
(5)  (66/1 -560%)Silver Chord |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Silver Chord 66/1, Poor form in her qualifying runs but handicaps do provide her with a more realistic chance. Did not achieve much when sixth here in May; improvement needed on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SEREN Y TEIGR kept on well to finish second over 2m at Ffos Las recently. Evan Williams' five-year-old looks ready for a step back up in trip on that evidence and he is taken to record a breakthrough success. Stratford winner Getmetothemoon hit the frame over 2m1f here latest. That is a solid piece of form given the winner has been on a roll recently and she merits the utmost respect from an unchanged mark. Culligran is also noted.
EURKASH has been the subject of a very interesting trainer change and is worth chancing under Harry Cobden, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Getmetothemoon has made a solid start to the season and is second choice ahead of John O'Shea's Culligran.
Getmetothemoon is respected but EURKASH makes his stable debut from a tempting mark and might be worth chancing.

(7)  (9/4 +50%)Bushmill Boy |
9/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bushmill Boy 9/4, Long-standing maiden who made the frame on several occasions for David Thompson, including when runner-up at Hexham (2m, heavy) on penultimate start. Lesser effort last time but since undergone a wind op/changed yards and will be in the mix if on-song. 0-21 over hurdles; claimed out of a seller in May; makes stable debut from good mark. |
|||
(3)  (4/1 -60%)Konigin Isabella |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Konigin Isabella 4/1, Has taken steps forward the last twice, finishing fourth of 12 at Stratford prior to opening her account over this C&D (good). 4 lb rise doesn't look at all harsh all things considered and she's a leading contender. Kept on strongly to score by a neck over C&D last month; further progress is possible. |
|||
(10)  (11/2 +15%)Testflight |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Testflight 11/2, Second to a bang in-form rival back from a break in a maiden hurdle in Jersey last month. Going well when unseating four out over fences at Worcester (2½m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and, 4 lb lower back in this sphere, he has to enter calculations. Seemed to be running well before falling in a recent chase; can be competitive here. |
|||
(4)  (11/2 -10%)Invictus De Brion |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Invictus De Brion 11/2, Plumpton bumper winner in September 2022 and bettered previous efforts in this sphere by some way when fourth in a 10-runner Worcester handicap (2m, good) last month. That was his first run for 15 months so he's entitled to come on for it. Cheekpieces applied. Pulled up in first two handicaps but returned from long break with much better run in June. |
|||
(6)  (12/1 -20%)Jormungandr |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jormungandr 12/1, No real impact in his qualifying runs but there were more encouraging signs when fifth on recent handicap bow at Worcester (2½m, good). However, this drop back in trip may not be ideal. Very respectable fifth on last month's handicap debut; might have a bit more to offer. |
|||

(2)  (14/1 -211%)Get The Value |
14/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Get The Value 14/1, Fairly useful form in first 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers and signs of encouragement over hurdles, fifth in a novice here (16.8f, good to firm) last time. Appeals as the type to improve now venturing down the handicap route. Yet to match his bumper form over hurdles but still has potential; handicap debut today. |
|||
(1)  (40/1 -300%)Bears Hug |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bears Hug 40/1, Successful twice on the Flat (both on AW) but yet to trouble the judge in this sphere and was well beaten on second start for this yard over 16.8f here last month. Always behind here last month but may yet build upon his encouraging stable debut in May. |
|||
(8)  (40/1 -21%)Future Times |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Future Times 40/1, Modest maiden on the Flat for Jedd O'Keeffe and well held all 3 starts over timber for current yard. Big step forward required on handicap debut in this sphere. Makes handicap hurdle debut from a lowly mark but still needs to improve.. |
|||
(9)  (40/1 +0%)Square Du Roule |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Square Du Roule 40/1, Poor maiden who hasn't found any improvement for the switch to handicap company the last twice. Not beaten that far in first two handicaps but latest 3lb drop not enough to tempt. |
|||
(11)  (66/1 -32%)Galactic Glow |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Galactic Glow 66/1, Three-time winner on the Flat last year but recent efforts in that sphere have lacked spark and he hasn't shown much in 5 runs over hurdles to date. 14 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Three-time winner on the Flat but has huge amount to prove over hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A step up in distance appeared to unlock some improvement in KONIGIN ISABELLA when opening her account over C&D last month. A 4lb higher rating looks more than workable for the Anthony Honeyball-trained mare and she's taken to follow up. Stable debutant Bushmill Boy looks just the type that will benefit from a change of scenery and an improved bid is forecast, while Invictus De Brion is entitled to build on last month's reappearance fourth at Worcester.
There were positives to glean from GET THE VALUE's efforts in a Stratford maiden and a novice event here in May, and he is of interest now switched to handicap company off a feasible opening mark. With recent winning form at a premium in this contest, Konigin Isabella, who got off the mark over C&D last time, has to be feared, while Bushmill Boy, Invictus de Brion and Testflight are all strong each-way contenders.
Preference is for INVICTUS DE BRION, who returned from a long layoff with a pleasing fourth at Worcester last month.

5/2(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pure Seduction 5/2, £30,000 4-y-o, Mount Nelson filly. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Daisy's Gift. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Apr 28). Bought for £30,000 after making the frame in two Irish points; yard does well in bumpers. |

(1)  (3/1 -9%)Back In The Bay |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Back In The Bay 3/1, Runner-up in a point and fourth on Rules debut at Worcester. That sets a reasonable standard and she could put her experience to good use. Ran big race when fourth on recent rules debut at Worcester; major player here. |
|||
(3)  (13/2 +35%)O'malley |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) O'malley 13/2, Showed something to work on when fifth here on completed start, showing greenness. Capable of better with the benefit of experience. Struggled on debut in March but her C&D fifth in May was much more encouraging. |

(2)  (15/2 -50%)Eskimo Sam |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eskimo Sam 15/2, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to 1¾m winner Artic Nel. Wears tongue strap. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard that does well in this sphere. Yard enjoys some bumper success but this newcomer does not have an exciting pedigree. |
|||
(4)  (10/1 -11%)Absence Of Malice |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Absence Of Malice 10/1, Hillstar filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 25f) Pym. Likely to need further but stable is going well. Out of an unraced half-sister to smart jumper Pym; yard does well in summer bumpers. |
|||
(5)  (11/1 -10%)Dance The Moon |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dance The Moon 11/1, Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser Thomas Campbell. Something to work on when fourth in a 17-runner event at Newbury on debut but failed to back it up at Uttoxeter last time. Has very good pedigree; made promising debut in December but flopped last month. |
|||
(7)  (16/1 -146%)Polly Pi |
16/1(-146%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Polly Pi 16/1, Mount Nelson filly. Half-sister to poor hurdler Timassini. Dam (c92/h94), temperamental 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), also 10.7f winner on Flat. Noteworthy newcomer. Half-sister to low-grade hurdle winner Timassini; stable not prolific in bumpers nowadays. |

(6)  (20/1 +0%)Lady Henrietta |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lady Henrietta 20/1, Has hinted at ability in a couple of bumpers but looks more one for the longer term. May not be straightforward but was not beaten far on her first two starts. |

There was plenty of encouragement to be gleaned from BACK IN THE BAY's fourth-placed Rules bow at Worcester at the start of July. An extra furlong is sure to suit the daughter of Doyen and she ticks the most boxes. Fellow point-to-point runner-up Pure Seduction may serve the most resistance to the selection on her debut in this sphere, ahead of the Tom Lacey-trained newcomer Eskimo Sam.
PURE SEDUCTION has shown ability in points and her stable has a good record in this sphere, so she's marginally preferred to Back In The Bay, who made a positive start under Rules at Worcester last time. Eskimo Sam is also considered.
Irish point runner-up BACK IN THE BAY made a pretty good start to her rules career at Worcester last month and gets the nod.

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.
