The smart Ballyandy made his debut in this last year so these newcomers have a lot to live up to. The Poliglote gelding Alpha Male runs in the famous Michael Buckley colours and is worth a market check but he's one of a number of entries representing powerful NH yards. Jockey bookings suggest Bodyswerve will be the pick of Jonjo O'Neill's trio and Perfect Pirate has a nice pedigree. Getaway Whiskey, Old Harry Rocks and I'm Still Waiting are others who could get involved and Monty's Award is bred for jumping. So is GAELIC PRINCE, a half-brother to a winning chaser, so Philip Hobbs' charge gets a tentative vote in a race in which a market check is advised.
