FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HARTUR D'ARC is a bumper and hurdle winner who showed improvement on chase debut last month. Rated 113 over hurdles and thus suited by race conditions, he received 7lb from a 134-rated winner at Galway, with the third being rated 126 and work-in-progress Spillane's Tower finishing fourth. Macdermott, rated 116 over hurdles, won at Tramore in April and while he has the size to be a better chaser, has enough on his plate against more experienced rivals. Japers Jack ran well on chase debut at Galway (comprehensively beating Meetingofthewaters) and has place claims. Tempo Chapter Two is experienced and is rated 117 but was well enough held at Wexford while Wellington Hill, rated 116, ran well in a recent handicap. Ideal Du Tabert was rated 114 over hurdles but is a maiden who debuts over fences while Priory Park is a 10-race maiden over fences. Silver King was a disappointing beaten favourite on chase debut at Downpatrick last month while Carrig Rock ran well enough on his fences debut at Fairyhouse.
