Verdict
Having won his sole start between the flags in good style, REAL QUARTZ is of major interest now embarking on a career under Rules for his powerful connections. It will look significant if the market speaks in his favour and, if that is the case, the hint should be taken. French import Inedit d'Amour may emerge as the main danger, while dual point winner Kent de Thaix also needs a second look.

VerdictThis brother to bumper winner Alan de Banks cost £190,000 after easily winning a maiden point last November. Has undergone a wind op ahead of this Rules/yard debut and he's every inch a likely-looking type. - 3. Inedit DamourJ: Brian HughesT: Donald McCainF: 43P62U-

VerdictFair form over hurdles in France for Francois Nicolle and runner-up on sole completed chase start on that side of the Channel. Strong claims returned to this sphere on debut for new yard.

VerdictRelated to winners and didn't shape at all badly when fourth of 11 on debut in a bumper here last November. However, well held back here the following month and entitled to need the run now starting out over hurdles following 11 months off.

VerdictSome promise in a couple of bumpers for Tom Weston, but not quite enough to suggest that he'll be equal to this task on his hurdles debut.

VerdictFlemensfirth mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Irish Saint and useful hurdler Welsh Saint. Dam 2m hurdle winner in France. Not short of appeal on paper, but Harry Skelton prefers Real Quartz.
