Verdict
HAY MAX shaped like a ready-made future winner when runner-up on debut at Bangor during the spring and he is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of point recruit Ballyeaston. Creeping Tom is in good hands, but it's likely that he will be seen in a better light when faced with a stiffer test further down the line.

Verdict£50,000 purchase out of unraced sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (2m-23f winner) Hidden Cyclone. Went close sole start between the flags during the spring and he's of strong interest on this Rules debut.

Verdict€75,000 half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Solitary Man and positive start to his career when finding just one too good in a Bangor bumper (16.7f, good) in April. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better here.

VerdictPoet's Word filly. Dam lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. Yard seldom strikes with newcomers and she's probably best watched on this occasion.
