JEROBOAM MACHIN evidently hasn't been the easiest to train, but he showed the benefit of a considerate return when fourth on his hurdling debut at Ballinrobe in May and is likely to improve, particularly given the level of form he achieved in bumpers. Young Doran rates the chief threat after an encouraging debut over hurdles at the same venue, while Withabitofluk also enters the reckoning if building on his latest effort.

C Pas Possible This well-bred stayer was outpaced in the closing stages at Punchestown, but that was a good start, and he appeals each-way at the likely odds, with doubts about those at the head of the betting.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Withabitofluk should still be served best by being ridden prominently: Young Doran might not benefit from being ridden as far back as usual for all the gallop is likely to be a reasonable one.
Individual Price Hint: Riverstown Boy traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 2 starts: Withabitofluk traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 3 starts.
