Verdict

With little form under Rules to go on, a market check is advised before this. Most have been cleaning up in point-to-points with Ballycahane, Chapelier and Captain McGinley all respected but trip and going should suit both Salvatore and LATENIGHTPASS. The former was a little disappointing in a Mixed Open last time at Maisemore Park but could easily bounce back. But Gina Andrews’ mount is learning with experience and has a high cruising speed so looks the type who could go on the better things if handling the stiffer obstacles. Coco Live also warrants a mention.
