CAPTAIN WALLACE and Minella Blueway are likely-looking recruits from the point scene and may well come to the fore in this maiden hurdle. The latter’s connections struck with a similar type (Minella Missile) making his Rules debut over this C&D recently and he is strongly considered. However, preference is for Captain Wallace, who represents an in-form yard and the rival he was narrowly beaten by in March has since won under Rules. Heros de Romay and Hurricane Danny complete the shortlist.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (18-23): E Williams (30 wins from 269 runners, 11%) runs PAGEANT MATERIAL TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J O’Neill (4 wins from 30 runners, 13%) runs OUR FRIEND MO LONGEST TRAVELLER: COOLEENYMORE trained by R Walford, Blandford, 74 miles. RACE SUMMARY

There was enough promise in OUR FRIEND MO’s qualifying runs to suggest that she will have a big part to play now pitched into a handicap off a reasonable opening mark. She gets the nod ahead of Lady Wilberry, who hit the crossbar twice over fences during the spring and will be a threat if able to reproduce that form back in this sphere. Arctic Footprint could have a part to play, too, if the change of scenery (debut for new yard) perks her up and Cooleenymore is also considered.
