| Telescope gelding who finished runner up only start in points and looked a useful staying prospect when going one better in a C&D bumper on Rules debut in November. No match for subsequent Champion bumper fifth Diamant Dore back here since but he ought to give another good account. | ||||||||

| Picked up for €40,000 after finishing third in an Irish point and he marked himself down as a good prospect when forging clear to land a Southwell bumper (15.8f) in December. Had a pair of next-time-out winners behind on that occasion and he's the type to do better again. | ||||||||

| Point scorer who is bred to stay long distances so all the more encouraging he produced a promising debut second in a C&D bumper in January, unlucky to bump into one but beating the rest comprehensively. Longer trips are bound to suit when attentions switch to jumping. | ||||||||

KEOPS DES BORDES has been absent since his bumper debut 15 months, yet he showed plenty of ability when chasing home subsequent Grade 1 hurdles winner No Drama This End on that occasion and is highly unlikely to be lacking for fitness given the stable he represents on return. He can continue the fine form for the Skeltons. Brady Hartsfield has finished runner up both starts to date and is feared, with Old Habits, Skerry Hill and Jardin de Tunis other key players. |
