Coyote Spirit⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr H C Swan| T: G Elliott

4/6

Has made a good start in bumpers, placing again at Navan in February, his first outing for new trainer Gordon Elliott. Leading claims.

Form: 6-23

Doctors Hill⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr N McParlan| T: Caroline Mccaldin

10/1

Doctor Dino gelding who reached the frame in 2 points this winter. The betting should guide on Rules debut.

Form: 43

Minella Supreme¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F R Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

10/1

Half-brother to numerous winners but last of 7 finishers sole start in points (Dec 2024).

Form: 7

Noticebox⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D G Lavery| T: G P Cromwell

12/1

With a leading stable and this point recruit shaped better than the result when ninth of 11 in bumper at Navan (15.7f, heavy, 12/1) on NH debut 62 days ago, fading after meeting some trouble. May do better.

Form: F-9

Sunset Boulevard³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins

11/4

7/1, eighth of 18 in bumper at Thurles (15.6f, good to soft, 7/1) on debut 37 days ago. In top hands and could easily prove a different proposition second time up.

Form: 8

Katie's Casper^t⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: M J Molloy⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third on good-ground debut last May and possibly unsuited by softer ground when last of 6 at Punchestown 8 months later.

Form: 36

Stella Court

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr M E McCrory⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly

100/1

Court Cave mare. Closely related to fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Hurling Magic. Best watched on debut unless the betting hints otherwise.

Forecasts

Coyote Spirit (4/6), Sunset Boulevard (11/4), Ace Brannigan (3/1), Doctors Hill (10/1), Minella Supreme (10/1), Noticebox (12/1), Katie's Casper (50/1), Stella Court (100/1)

COYOTE SPIRIT has the best form and gets the vote. Henry de Bromhead's Ace Brannigan didn't get the chance to show what he could do on his Rules debut but was prominent enough in the betting to suggest he'd been giving the right signals at home. Sunset Boulevard and Noticebox also hail from good stables and could step up on their bumper debut efforts.
