Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Bruce Lynn⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Thomson| CD

16/1

Landed a bit of a touch on his debut in this race 12 months ago (for Donald Whillans). Made an inauspicious start for this yard in the spring, swerving and unseating here then stopping quickly at Perth. Returns from a break with something to prove.

Form: 1UP-

Artic Row³¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: N W Alexander

11/1

Second in a point bumper last December. One to note in the betting on Rules debut.

Form: 2-

Magic Wave²⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

7/4

Promise when runner-up in 2 bumpers in the spring, latterly going down by only a head over C&D. Sets the standard for the rest to aim at.

Form: 22-

Diablo Loch⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans

25/1

Had a breathing operation after stopping quickly on his Kelso debut and different proposition when second at Perth 4 months later. Off a further 3 months.

Form: 0-2

Prince Of Perth

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Conner McCann⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

33/1

£24,000 Malinas gelding. One of 2 newcomers from his stable and the betting should help to split them.

Form:

Tenbobeachway

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

14/1

£35,000 Malinas half-brother to point winner. Dam placed only completed start in Irish points. Betting should help guide to expectations.

Form:

The Kalooki Kid

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards

4/1

€40,000 Gentlewave gelding. Dam (h78), lightly raced maiden over hurdles, sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Meetmeatthemoon. Likely type on debut for a stable with a good bumper record.

Form:

Whats The Solution⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Burke| T: G P Cromwell

7/2

Sixth in 2 starts in Ireland 6 months apart, the better effort (fair form) at Galway latterly. Won't have to advance his form too much to play a part.

Form: 6-6

Yorkshire Man Sam

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford

50/1

Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Black Ivory. Makes some paper appeal but Magic Wave has to be considered the yard first string unless the betting hints otherwise. r

Form:

Royal Tale^t¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford

8/1

33/1 and tongue strap on, showed a bit when fifth of 15 in bumper at Punchestown (16.5f, good to soft) on debut in April. Irish stable's British bumper runners always to be feared and interesting to see whether there's any money for her.

Form: 5-

Forecasts

Magic Wave (7/4), Whats The Solution (7/2), The Kalooki Kid (4/1), Royal Tale (8/1), Artic Row (11/1), Tenbobeachway (14/1), Jimmy's Jet (16/1), Diablo Loch (25/1), Prince Of Perth (33/1), Yorkshire Man Sam (50/1)

MAGIC WAVE went close over C&D on Scottish Grand National day in April and a repeat of that form might be good enough to see him get off the mark on his return to action. Newcomer The Kalooki Kid represents a good trainer/jockey combination and would rate a threat if the betting suggests he's fancied. Stuart Crawford's Royal Tale also makes the shortlist.
