Stewards Note:
MOONLIGHTARTIST: Following its run on 5/12/2024 it was reported that the horse made a mistake.
Probable S.P’s: 9-2 Katate Dori (FR), 11-2 I See The Sea (IRE), 13-2 Simple Getaway (IRE), 8-1 Lock Out (IRE), 9-1 Bampton Star (GB), 10-1 School For Scandal (FR), 11-1 Good Friday Fairy (IRE), Moonlight Artist (GB), 18-1 Kingcormac (IRE), 22-1 Lightonthewing (IRE), Supreme Commander (IRE)
KATATE DORI failed to get his head in front over hurdles but showed the benefit of his reappearance run when finishing a creditable fourth at Uttoxeter on his latest start and he appeals as a likely type to take to this discipline for the Sam Thomas stable. Simple Getaway is another chase debutant to note, particularly if market vibes are positive. Good Friday Fairy, I See The Sea and and Lock Out are others in the mix.

KEABLE has just a handful of starts to his name and, having stepped up on his reappearance when runner-up at Wincanton last month, he gets the nod to go one better and open his account. The main threat may emerge from Mutley Crew, who is also very lightly raced for her age and has taken her form up a notch since sent handicapping. Inspector Lynley and Caitlin’s Court can do battle for third.

The majority of these have something to prove for one reason or another but SAINT CYR DE PAIL doesn’t fall into that camp He landed a maiden here last term and is appealing on the back of an improved handicap debut second at Bangor where he left the impression that this stiffer test would help Danton is feared most back hurdling, while Paddys Island is respected on the back of an encouraging enough run at Stratford and Missy Mole may be seen in a better light now upped in trip

PLAY SMARTER
TALK TO THE MAN has joined top connections on the back of landing a point and he should take some stopping on his first go under Rules. Bossman Jack makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and Arctic Conditions is also worthy of respect based on what he’s done between the flags.
