Rudolf is likely to need a stiffer test of stamina while Ryansbrook appears to have gone backwards since a promising debut over timber at Clonmel in April. Soteira has changed hands and hasn't been seen since July of last year but Way Wild West showed promise behind the subsequent Grade 2 winner Free Expression at Naas. GOLANTILLA, a winning point-to-pointer, makes his debut over hurdles and looks to have been found a simple opportunity. Tony Martin's has charge tackled the last two Festival Bumpers at Cheltenham, finishing third last year, and has the pedigree to make a useful hurdler.
