HARAZ: Following its run on 4/10/2022 it was reported that the horse hung right handed. Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Alien Storm (IRE), 11-4 Rewired (GB), 10-3 Kilfilum Woods (IRE), 11-2 Our Champ (IRE), 15-2 Harlem Soul (GB), 250-1 Haraz (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER The market should prove useful in a tricky opener but ALIEN STORM stepped up on his previous exploits when runner-up in a 4-runner course bumper 4 weeks ago and with, a good jumping pedigree, he could be ready to step up further now switched to timber. Rewired and Kilfilum Woods can also figure.

Stewards Note:

ABAYA DU MATHAN: Following its run on 6/10/2022 it was reported that the horse was hampered by a faller.

Probable S.P’s: 9-4 Who Is That (IRE), 4-1 Agent Saonois (FR), 9-2 Ozzie Man (IRE), 11-2 Abaya du Mathan (FR), 15-2 Notnow Seamus (GB), 14-1 Counteract (GB) AGENT SAONOIS showed enough on his chase debut here to suggest that he’s up to winning a race such as this off the same mark. He gets the nod ahead of Ozzie Man, who can be expected to step up on what he showed over hurdles now tackling the larger obstacles. Who Is That has to be respected on the back of his recent Fontwell success, while Abaya du Mathan would be a danger to all off this reduced mark were he to bounce back.
