Selected odds by:

Blue Indigo¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: Gary Rutherford

50/1

Soundly beaten sole completed start between the flags and will need to step on what he's shown in a couple of runs under Rules in order to play a leading role.

Form: 5S-64

Jack Dempsey²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: I A Duncan

250/1

Didn't achieve much when runner-up on debut in an Ayr bumper last November and has suffered heavy defeats at the same course both starts since. Hard to fancy now switched to hurdles.

Form: 205-

Jentobello^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: I Jardine| OR: 108

4/1

Won both starts in bumpers earlier this year and placed all 3 runs in novice hurdles, making the odds-on winner dig deep when going close in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Kelso (21f, good) last time. Should be on the premises once again.

Form: R-11322

Keep Tabs On You^t1²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| BFWS

9/2

€70,000 half-brother to fair hurdler Kells Priory. Failed to justify strong late support when coming home third in a 5-runner Ayr bumper (2m, heavy) on debut in February, but promises to be suited by this stiffer test now switched to hurdles. Tongue strap applied.

Form: 3-

Scorpio Rising¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

10/11

Showed ability when third in a bumper on debut in January and subsequent third of 9 starting out over hurdles at Ffos Las (2½m, soft) during the spring was encouraging. Leading claims here with improvement on the cards.

Form: 33-

Sleedagh¹⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

7/2

Sold for £80,000 after finishing a close third on the second of his 2 starts in maiden points. Performed above market expectations when finding just one too strong on Rules debut here (16.2f, soft) in April, shaping as though this stiffer test will be right up his street.

Form: 632-

The G Wizard¹⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander

28/1

Runner-up in the second of his 2 starts in maiden points and the market should be revealing in respect of expectations of him now embarking on a career under Rules.

Form: P/2

The Happy Chapati⁵²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: John Dawson

100/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler The New One. However, he didn't offer much in a trio of bumpers for Nicky Henderson and is best watched sent hurdling for new yard on the back of a 17-month absence.

Form: 00/8-

Whenthemusicstops³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

25/1

Failed to trouble the judge in maiden points, but resumed with a fairly promising second to a long odds-on shot from the Paul Nicholls yard on Rules debut at Plumpton (20.5f, good to firm) last month. Open to improvement and it shouldn't be too long before he goes one better.

Form: P-42

Forecasts

Scorpio Rising (10/11), Sleedagh (7/2), Jentobello (4/1), Keep Tabs On You (9/2), Whenthemusicstops (25/1), The G Wizard (28/1), Blue Indigo (50/1), The Happy Chapati (100/1), Jack Dempsey (250/1)

There was plenty of promise in SCORPIO RISING's hurdles debut third at Ffos Las and he looks sure to improve this season. Olly Murphy's charge shades preference ahead of Sleedagh, who shaped well on his first run under Rules in a bumper here and this step up in trip could be just what he needs now tackling hurdles. Jentobello and Whenthemusicstops are others to consider.
