Looked to be getting the hang of things when rallying to finish second in a Newcastle bumper on debut in October and he displayed similar form when landing 6-runner contest at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) 21 days ago. Found himself well positioned then but claims under a penalty nevertheless.
|
Runner-up in Irish point and he narrowly justified good support when taking 11-runner Chepstow bumper (2m, soft) on Rules debut 5 weeks ago, edging ahead again on line. Went through the race like a horse capable of much better and he's very much of interest under a penalty.
|
Finished third on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 2025) and whilst he ran to a fair level, left the impression he was possibly flattered, when 5 lengths last of 5 in bumper at Market Rasen 4 weeks ago, very much having the run of the race. More needed.
|
Yeats gelding. Closely related to fair hurdle winner/useful chaser Defan, and half-brother to modest hurdler Ushuaia Dancer. Dam, point winner, sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Long House Hall. Market can guide on debut.
|
£12,000 3-y-o, £30,000 5-y-o, Wings of Eagles gelding. Dam, well held in bumper/maiden hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Havana Hermano. Won second of 2 outings in Irish points (Nov 2). Betting can unearth some clues on Rules bow.
|
€20,000 3-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 21f-23f hurdle winner A Perfect Day. Dam unraced half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 25f) Burning Ambition. Successful only outing in Irish points (Mar 2025) and he commands respect now starting out for top stable.
|
Telescope gelding. Dam ran once on Flat. Unlikely type on paper and he's probably best watched on debut.
|
Masked Marvel gelding who has displayed fair form amid inexperience both starts to date, displaying greenness when eighth of 13 in listed bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f) 6 weeks ago. Remains likely capable of better and this certainly less demanding.

Forecasts
Moments In Time (6/4), No Walkover (2/1), Wonder Flying (7/2), Grazeon Sunshine (12/1), Capital House (12/1), Double Indemnity (25/1), Bargain Hunter (66/1), Racscopic (66/1)
NO WALKOVER was made to work harder than had initially appeared likely when landing a Chepstow bumper on debut 5 weeks ago but the way he went through the race on that occasion suggests he's capable of much better and David Pipe's 4-y-o is fancied to confirm as much and defy a penalty. Dan Skelton landed this 12 months ago and his point scorer Moments in Time also commands a look. Grazeon Sunshine and Wonder Flying are others worth a look in the finale.
