Play By The Rules (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 10st 6lbs
Or: 75

Modest hurdles winner but shaped much better than the bare result back from 17 months off when fifth at Newcastle on yard debut in March. Endured a luckless early exit at Hexham since and remains one to be interested in for yard that does well with new recruits.

El Muchacho (Ire)

Age: 9
Weight: 12st 0lbs
Or: 97

Has proved unreliable but he was a dual winner last season and made it 3 good placed efforts in succession when second over C&D 3 weeks ago. Can go well again.

Get A Superstar (Ire)

Age: 8
Weight: 11st 5lbs
Or: 88

Frustrating sort who is still to win over obstacles and failed to build on promising chase bow at Catterick in 2 subsequent starts.

Livano Bello (Fr)

Age: 5
Weight: 12st 0lbs

Maiden over hurdles but plenty of placed efforts, though disappointed at Perth 2 weeks ago. Makes chase debut.

Timeform Verdict

PLAY BY THE RULES failed to complete through no fault of his own last time so is well worth another chance given how well he'd shaped starting out for this yard at Newcastle. El Muchacho is going through a good spell at the moment and is the obvious threat.
