PLAY SMARTER
As a half-brotherto aWelsh Grand Nationalwinnerit could bethat SPIRITOFKINSALEwill also be at his best when eventually tackling the larger obstacles and faced with a stiffer test. Still, there is enough in his pedigreeto suggestthattherewill be racesto bewonwith him overhurdles inthe meantime andthe hint should be taken ifthe market speaks in his favour Typhoon Flyer is feared most, while Kingsley and Sun Art can both be expected to leave their debut form well behind in time.

Given the level of ability she showed in bumpers, RULA BULAwill likely prove hard to beat now upped in trip for this hurdles debut, provided of course that her jumping passes the test. Natus Vincere was a clear-cut winner of an Irish maiden point and she is respected given her status as that of an unknown quantity, while Zarhanya showed definite signs of ability in a Cheltenham bumper during the spring and she could be seen in a better light now hurdling and faced with a stiffertest

PLAY SMARTER
KELCE has produced two bold front-running performances since tackling the larger obstacles and he is taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Forget Montregard’s chase debut display at Wetherby, as this half-brotherto top-class performerProtektorat will likely leave that form well behind here and he is the clear main danger Moon Hunter has the ability to feature if responding well to the first-time headgear but Inoui Machin’s debut effort over fences was somewhat inauspicious.
