More than half of these have been racing under NH Rules and several arrive in winning form. Act Of God was placed several times on the Flat in France before landing a maiden hurdle at Tramore a couple of weeks ago. Aliym won a bumper in January and ran well in a Wexford maiden hurdle last week. Jerandme, a dual bumper winner, scored over hurdles at Roscommon last month while King's Song won easily over fences at Tramore in April. Effernock Lad and Veinard have been chasing with varying results but dual bumper winner ROYAL ILLUSION should have more pace than most of these having been beaten narrowly in a 1m4f Roscommon maiden last month when Estijmaam wasn't far behind in fourth. Tritonix landed a Down Royal bumper then found 1m2f much too short when a long way second in a maiden on the same track.
