In depth
Verdict
Wild Chimes has the scope to do well over hurdles and can give his in-form trainer another winner, with Espresso Forte, Reasonably Sure and Mine's A Murphys seen as the main dangers. Point-to-point winner Wild Chimes shaped well on his first outing under rules at Plumpton in May, finishing third over an inadequate trip, and looks set to make his mark over staying distances. No doubt he will be sent over fences in due course, but as the yard has a plethora of riches in that department, he will not be rushed. Espresso Forte is another recruit from between the flags and is sure to have been well schooled, while Reasonably Sure was sent off favourite on his debut at Chepstow so must have shown something at home. He displayed a modicum of ability and may pick up a race or two over timber. Mine's A Muphys ran well until falling at Exeter on his first run of the season, but the winner What Do'in has been beaten since. Ferdy Murphy has suddenly hit form so Daguyda may go well also, but Wild Chimes can prove to be the answer.
