KIWI DE COTTE shaped well before a calamitous late error in a hunter chase at Wexford on last month’s Rules debut and looks very interesting now switching to hurdling having joined Dan Skelton. Royal Rocket and Getaway Vic are obvious threats.

MUSKERRY ROCK failed to land the odds back over hurdles on his British debut at Fontwell last week but he didn’t do a lot wrong having conceded first run to the winner so remains of firm interest Cinderello is progressing well and may not have reached her ceiling yet, while Klervia is worth another try at this trip

GENOIS: Following its run on 15/5/2026 it was reported that the horse made jumping errors.
Probable S.P’s: 9-4 Gateau de Miel (FR), 4-1 Bleu d’Enfer(FR), 11-2 Bhaloo (IRE), 6-1 Genois (FR), 10-1 Seaview Rock (GB), 12-1 Mahons Glory (IRE), 16-1 Ostend (IRE)
An open-looking feature contest in which it could pay to take a chance on OSTEND, who is potentially well treated on old form and has been snapped up cheaply by the in-form Mickey Bowen yard since last seen. Genois ran too badly to be true at Aintree 5 weeks ago so he can give the selection most to think about, with last-time-out winner Gateau de Miel rounding off the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER
BUNKER BAYescapes a penaltyforlastweek’s C&D success and can make it a Market Rasentreble. Onehundredneighty could prove a different proposition on second start for Ben Pauling and is feared most.
