Leading owner J P McManus has three entries with HERCULE DU SEUIL looking a potentially high-class recruit to fences. A Grade 2/3 winner over hurdles, he looks the one to beat on his chasing debut though Roseys Hollow, another carrying the green and gold colours, looks a threat. She's already proved herself over fences with a close second to subsequent winner Dinoblue at Cork and a third place behind the brilliant Impervious and Dinoblue again in a Grade 2 on a return visit. Changing The Rules is the third J P entry and though he's yet to reach a place he's much better than the bare form indicates. Winning hurdler Hamundarson made a pleasing debut over fences at Leopardstown while Rumi is another likely to be seen to better effect now chasing.
