Verdict

Highly likely that this will be dominated by bumper winners ORDER ON TIME and St James's Finest. Both looked useful last season with the former arguably slightly more impressive in victory, so he's marginally preferred. Moonrise Monarch also represents a successful yard so needs considering.

7	Bought for £200,000 after finishing runner-up on sole start in Irish points. Sent off 6/5 and looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience to make a winning start in 11-runner bumper here in April.

10	Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam (c128/h121) 2¾m/3m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 27f). Bred to stay well but displayed enough speed to make second bumper start a winning one at Windsor in January. Second that day won next time and he has to be of interest for all-conquering yard now hurdling. 2nd Pick 10 St James's Finest (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	96	-	-	-	34%

6	Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdle/useful chase winner Tarada and fairly useful hurdler Marada (2m winner). Dam (c137/h127) 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner.
