EL CURAMACH is likely to prove best back up in trip in due course but his Taunton fourth has beenwell franked and it probablywon’ttake awhole lot more improvement to land this. Gasmani, a fair bumper winner, should be up to making his presence felt in a race of this nature over hurdles, while similar comments apply to Windsurfer, who’s very much bred to have a future jumping.

Tongue Strap worn by No 5.

Stewards Note:

FIRST STREET: Following its run on 20/4/2024 it was reported that the horse made a bad mistake.

SILENT REVOLUTION: Following its run on 4/2/2024 it was reported that the horse ran too freely WAY OUT: Following its run on 26/4/2024 it was reported that the horse jumped poorly

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Authorised Speed (FR), 7-2 First Street (GB), 9-2 Boombawn (IRE), 5-1 Way Out (IRE), 17-2 Call of The Wild (IRE), 11-1 Silent Revolution (IRE)

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for in-form hurdler AUTHORISED SPEED to resume winning ways back chasing. Fencing newcomer Boombawn could emerge as the chief threat with Way Out another to consider if, as expected, building on his Chepstow hurdling sixth.

PLAY SMARTER

KINGSTON PRIDE underlined that he’s a good prospect when opening his account in facile style at Exeter last time and a penalty is unlikely to be enough to stop him for all that there are some interesting newcomers in opposition, the pick of them being Sunray Shadow. Rocket Man is another one to consider if strong in the betting.
