Chuvelo³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

5/4

Second on debut for Sam Curling, and has won both starts since, at Carlisle and Bangor, looking a smart prospect. Has every chance to complete the hat-trick now.

Form: 2-11

Clattering Ford

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: A C Whillans

25/1

First foal of an unraced sister to useful staying chaser Sizing Coal. Yard's bumper runners tend to need experience (2-64 in recent seasons), and passed over here.

Form:

Good Time Jonny²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: A J Martin

5/6

Shirocco half-brother to point winner Little Miss Darsi. Ran well when head second to Fantasio d'Alene in an amateur event at Punchestown for John McConnell, and matched that when third at Leopardstown for new yard last time. Solid place claims.

Form: 23

Invisionandqmartyn⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish

16/1

Arcadio gelding who was a 14/1 shot when slipping up early in bumper won by Blazing Port at Sedgefield on debut. Hard to gauge his ability on that, and market again the best guide.

Form: F

Kiplin³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: M Herrington

40/1

Full-brother to Flat stayer Another Lincolnday and half-brother to fairly useful dual-purpose performer My Arch. Offered little when ninth of 14 to Aire Valley Lad in bumper at Newcastle

Form: 9

Minnimo

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley

33/1

Full-brother to very smart hurdler/smart chaser Modus and half-brother to 5 winners. Makes a fair degree of appeal on breeding, and market check recommended ahead of debut.

Form:

Claviere^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith

66/1

Pivotal half-brother to 5f winner Gold Stone. In tongue tie when tailed-off sixth of 8 to Champagnesuperover in bumper at Ayr on debut. Needs to improve markedly.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Good Time Jonny (5/6), Chuvelo (5/4), Invisionandqmartyn (16/1), Clattering Ford (25/1), Minnimo (33/1), Kiplin (40/1), Claviere (66/1)

It's very hard to oppose the promising CHUVELO as he bids for a hat-trick, and he should be able to concede weight all round. Good Time Jonny has run to a similar level when placed on both starts to date, and looks by far the biggest danger, with Minnimo worth a market check given his likeable pedigree.
