Verdict

BANDE ORGANISEE showed promise in a race that has worked out notably well on his Rules debut over C&D in November, so he's taken to build on that and make it second time lucky. Hooj and Barascaria Ten are two debutants to note in the betting for stables that do very well in this sphere.

2	€125,000 4-y-o, Bande gelding. Dam, French hurdler (19f winner), also 1½m/12.2f winner on Flat. Fell both starts in Irish points in Apr 2025 but showed clear promise starting out under Rules when third of 11 in a C&D bumper in November. That form has worked out notably well so has obvious claims. 1st Pick 2 Bande Organisee (Fr) Jockey: Freddie Keighley Trainer: Rebecca Curtis J: Freddie Keighley T: Rebecca Curtis	100	-	-	-	56%

4	€31,000 3-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/chaser O Maonlai, stayed 3¼m, and bumper winner Flirtatious Girl. Has an appealing pedigree and very much one to note on debut for top yard. 2nd Pick 4 Hooj (Ire) Jockey: Tristan Durrell Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Tristan Durrell T: Dan Skelton	94	-	-	-	34%

3	Barastraight gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdle winner/very smart chaser Escaria Ten, stayed 3¾m. Dam unraced.
