Jason Maguire has a good strike-rate when teaming up with Kim Bailey and the pair will be expecting GOLD MAN, who won a point-to-point at Ballydaragh in February, to make a winning start under Rules. What's Left has also won between the flags but Pied Du Roi looks a bigger danger as he's surely better than he showed when well backed at Worcester last month. Native Mountain is stoutly bred and will probably do better over longer trips, though this is a stiff track.
