Ebony Warrior's latest Worcester second was given a big boost when the winner went on to land the Persian War and, on these terms, he is preferred to the hat-trick seeking Bowling Buddy. They do have to concede weight and maybe A MOMENTS MADNESS is worth a look. The five-year-old was bought for 30,000 pounds shortly after a promising debut in an Irish point, and the horse who beat him then went close at the Punchestown Festival.
Prediction : 1st A Moments Madness 2nd Ebony Warrior 3rd Bowling Buddy

Pay The Piper had Grey Diamond well in arrears when successful at Kelso, while Escapeandevade ended his last campaign on a real high, completing a hat-trick at the same venue. The suspicion is that the former remains the better treated of the pair, but both are vulnerable to the far less exposed PRIMOZ. An expensive recruit from the pointing field, he enjoyed a good novice hurdling campaign, but chasing is presumably what he was bought for.
Prediction : 1st Primoz 2nd Pay The Piper 3rd Escapeandevade

Opec was well on the way to justifying market support when hitting the deck at Market Rasen, with Play Pretend the chief beneficiary of that spill. The winner then only got as far as the first at Uttoxeter in a race in which Battle Of Omdurman occupied the runner-up spot. The most interesting of these juveniles, though, is easily QUANTOCK HILLS, who was snapped up for 130,000 euros after atoning for a near-miss on debut back at Dieppe second time out.
Prediction : 1st Quantock Hills 2nd Opec 3rd Play Pretend

The progressive Jet Plane likely found that his Ayr flop in April came too soon after his Market Rasen success and, despite a career-high mark, he shouldn't be underestimated on his return to action. However, chasing debutant JAGWAR looks just the type who will improve for this discipline. The five-year-old is expected to have been well schooled and a bold bid likely beckons. Garde Des Champs makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jagwar 2nd Jet Plane 3rd Garde Des Champs

Although foiled in his hat-trick bid, TINTINTIN lost little in defeat when finishing third in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock in May. Fergal O'Brien's charge should have more to offer this season and he's taken to make a winning reappearance. Grade 1-winning chaser Allmankind offered plenty to work with on his stable bow over hurdles at Market Rasen last month and isn't taken lightly. Whizz Kid and Schmilsson are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Tintintin 2nd Allmankind 3rd Whizz Kid

Third in a valuable contest over the extended 2m3f at Punchestown in April, this looks a good opportunity for MONTREGARD to get off the mark at the first time of asking over the larger obstacles. Tom Lacey's charge makes most appeal at a venue he scored at on his penultimate start over timber. Storminhome was only narrowly beaten over 2m5f at Ascot in March and a 3lb rise could prove lenient, while I Am Max is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Montregard 2nd Storminhome 3rd I Am Max

DUKE OF DECEPTION hasn't finished outside of the first two home in each of his three starts this year and can continue on an upward trajectory. The seven-year-old won this race last year and despite arriving here 8lb higher, Ben Smith's 7lb claim in the plate will help. Tribal Glory makes his handicap bow and Fergal O'Brien's charge doesn't look unfairly treated off an opening mark of 112, while Do No Wrong is also worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Duke Of Deception 2nd Tribal Glory 3rd Do No Wrong
