Second in a couple of bumpers at Clonmel earlier this year, Regal One makes his hurdling debut and should be thereabouts if his jumping holds up. Pasture Bay travelled strongly for a long way in a Cartmel handicap in June and could appreciate the drop in distance while a market move for newcomers My Horse Harry and El Camino Real would be interesting. BATHCOUNTY has his stamina to prove but is still unexposed over timber and is taken to build on his latest third over 2m here.
