Sea Invasion⁵²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon

13/8

€38,000 3-y-o, £110,000 4-y-o, Sea Moon gelding. Half-brother to 6f-15f winner in Italy Absolute Silence. Dam 9f-1¾m winner in Germany. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (May 2022). Worth a chance to make a successful Rules debut.

Form: 2-

Court In The Act¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

7/4

Built on minor promise of debut when a good third at Huntingdon 149 days ago, finishing well. Has left Oliver Sherwood and joined a shrewd outfit since, so looks a big player.

Form: 5-3

Holy Legend¹⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Alexandra Dunn

25/1

From a good family but there wasn't enough promise in his debut at Chepstow 6 months ago to make him of serious interest in this.

Form: 8-

Roczen³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: Kieran Burke

100/1

Related to a point winner but little encouragement in two bumper starts to date. Set for another struggle.

Form: 03

Faha Belle¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| BF

7/2

Winning pointer who offered plenty of encouragement when fifth at Ludlow on Rules debut five months ago. Open to improvement and deserves respect.

Form: 51-5

Fortuna Major

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Ben Jones| T: O Signy

15/2

Soldier of Fortune mare. Dam (b81) bumper winner out of useful 2m-2½m hurdle winner Grangeclare Lark. Makes some appeal on pedigree and warrants a market check.

Form:

Nomoreblackjack¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke

40/1

5,000 gns 3-y-o, £4,800 4-y-o, Dartmouth filly. Dam unraced from a good family. Third on first of 2 starts in points, unplaced last time (May 14). Probably a long-term prospect.

Form: 3-8

Forecasts

Sea Invasion (13/8), Court In The Act (7/4), Faha Belle (7/2), Fortuna Major (15/2), Holy Legend (25/1), Nomoreblackjack (40/1), Roczen (100/1)

SEA INVASION cost six figures after a promising debut in points and he's joined a stable that often has similar types ready for their debut in bumpers, so he gets the nod over Faha Belle, who seems likely to improve. Court In The Act also makes some appeal.
