Verdict
NO WALKOVER was made to work harder than had initially appeared likely when landing a Chepstow bumper on debut 5 weeks ago but the way he went through the race on that occasion suggests he's capable of much better and David Pipe's 4-y-o is fancied to confirm as much and defy a penalty. Dan Skelton landed this 12 months ago and his point scorer Moments in Time also commands a look. Grazeon Sunshine and Wonder Flying are others worth a look in the finale.

VerdictRunner-up in Irish point and he narrowly justified good support when taking 11-runner Chepstow bumper (2m, soft) on Rules debut 5 weeks ago, edging ahead again on line. Went through the race like a horse capable of much better and he's very much of interest under a penalty.

VerdictFinished third on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 2025) and whilst he ran to a fair level, left the impression he was possibly flattered, when 5 lengths last of 5 in bumper at Market Rasen 4 weeks ago, very much having the run of the race. More needed.
