Second in a point bumper but looked to be learning in bumpers and fell on his hurdling debut in a novice at Newcastle.
|
Arctic Cosmos gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Golan Cloud. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (winner up to 21f) She's Our Native.
|
Fairly useful on Flat, stays 17f, disappointing last time, subsequently sold from Joseph Patrick O'Brien £13,500. Returns from 6 months off but, while he clearly has ability, he might need this initial experience over hurdles.
|
Just modest form at best in 4 bumpers, but showed plenty to work on switched to hurdling after 11 months off when runner-up at Carlisle 3 weeks ago, left with too much to do. Should improve.
|
No form in a bumper and 2 maiden hurdles for Mags Mullins in Ireland last summer and lost his action at Ayr on debut for this stable. Easily dismissed.
|
Khalkevi gelding. Dam maiden over hurdles in France. Dead-heated for first sole start in Irish points (May 2021). One to note on Rules debut.
|
Mahler gelding who showed only a bit in Carlisle bumper on debut and was down the field on his hurdling bow at Ayr 24 days ago.
|
Pulled up in novice hurdle (150/1) at Newcastle (20.3f, soft) on NH debut 20 days ago and makes no appeal in this.
|
Took 5 attempts to get off the mark in Irish points and hasn't offered a great deal in two hurdling outings to date. Others preferred.
|
Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Millen To One, stays 2¾m. Interesting newcomer who is worth monitoring in the betting.
|
Bounced back to his best when making all in 8-runner handicap hurdle over C&D in December. Respectable second here since and likely to be on the premises again.
|
Landed a weak C&D bumper in early May and looked too slow for this trip in a novice over C&D 17 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts
Traprain Law (10/11), Galunggung (11/4), Fabuleux Du Clos (5/1), Thistlebuffs (9/1), Ebendi (22/1), Breeze Of Wind (28/1), Bray Dale (33/1), Artic Row (50/1), Pipers Cross (50/1), Highlander Hill (66/1), Serious Mickey (125/1), Couldntgivamonkeys (150/1), Puddledub I Froget (250/1), Gallant Flame (250/1)
TRAPRAIN LAW won a handicap over C&D easily on his penultimate start and was far from disgraced in a novice here subsequently, so he's a solid option in his bid to resume winning ways. Point recruit Galunggung is a clear danger and Fabuleux du Clos has claims if he's tuned up after another lengthy absence.
