Lanty Slea seemed well thought of in some quarters after winning his bumper but has yet to score in three hurdling starts despite showing clear ability. He'll prove competitive granted a clear round but BOLD ENDEAVOUR, winner of a bumper here on Rules debut, created a good impression that day and is preferred. He also has jumping experience having come home a smooth winner of his only run in the pointing sphere over a year ago. The likes of Akentrick, Highland Parc and Easter in Milan have all shown varying degrees of promise to date and are preferred in that order, whilst Tiger Jet steps into Rules company after three fair runs in point-to-points.
