Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Peaky Boy (IRE), 7-2 Leader In The Park (IRE), 5-1 Westerninthepark (IRE), 11-2 Primoz (IRE), 9-1 Guard Your Dreams (GB), 11-1 The Other Mozzie (IRE), 14-1 Bob Bob Ricard (IRE), 50-1 Walking On Air (IRE)
Market confidence behind either of the chase debutants would look significant but PRIMOZ marked himself out as one to keep firmly on side when making a winning chase debut at Wetherby last month. Value for much more than the bare margins would imply, he boasts plenty of untapped potential and could be the way to go up in trip Peaky Boy was 2-2 over hurdles and needs factoring in, as do Olly Murphy’s impressive Stratford scorerWesterninthepark and low-mileage Leader In The Park.

PLAY SMARTER
This looks a particularly strong renewal ofwhat is always one ofthe hottest handicap hurdles of the season. Setbacks meant DYSART ENOS and Burdett Road missed Grade 1 targets at the spring festivals but that misfortune allowed them to protect lenient-looking marks in the low 130s and they look the pair to focus on, with preference for the former Be Aware and Emmet Mullins pair Jacovec Cavern and Toll Stone are other interesting contenders.

Irish raider MINELLA HOLLOW maintained his 100% record despite displaying a fair bit of greenness when following up his Ballinrobe debut success at Roscommon in June and, appealing as the type to rate higher still in this sphere, he looks to hold solid claims. Fortune de Mer lacked the greater experience when just behind Block Rockin Beats over C&D last month and may emerge as the chief threat.
