Age: 4

Press The Button (Ire)

Age: 6

Runner-up on his completed start in points. 66/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Killarney (2½m, good to soft) on hurdle debut 15 days ago. Down in trip. More one for the longer term on that evidence.

Capri Gear (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Capri gelding. Dam ran once in bumper out of useful hurdle/chase winner up to 3m Laetitia. Interesting to see what the betting makes of this newcomer from a shrewd stable.

Eastwestconnection (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 10st 11lbs
Or: -

Pulled up sole start in points (Apr 19) ahead of this switch to hurdles.

Mydreamtell

Age: 4
Weight: 10st 12lbs
Or: -

Telescope gelding. Dam, point winner, half-sister to ungenuine but fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Its Crucial.

Nothintodowithme (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Mizzou gelding. Dam unraced. Wears tongue strap.

Timeform Verdict

THE STORE BOY has achieved enough to think a race like this should be within his grasp. Manoir de Mirande has been knocking on the door in similar races and is likely to be on the premises again. Bumper winner Press The Button is another who could have a say if taking to hurdling at the first time of asking.
