Ilovemints97
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Greatrex(7)| T: W Greatrex
6/1
Bangor maiden bumper winner who struggled under a penalty next time and will need to improve to come good again here.
2
Horse silk
Alflora Muppet28
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: T E Whelan| T: Martin Smith
100/1
Cost just £600 at the sales and not a huge amount of encouragement from her Warwick debut.
3
Horse silk
Angel's Envy25
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: I Jardine
80/1
Shown little in two starts to date and likely to need a fair bit further to play to her strengths.
4
Horse silk
Kristal Start123
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales
100/1
Started at fancy prices for her two runs to date, living up to them on each occasion. Impossible to recommend.
5
Horse silk
Majestic Moll12
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Miss E C Lavelle
17/2
62,000 Euro purchase, better bred than many of these and seen in public for the first time here. Conditions likely to suit and yard has had three bumper winners from just four runners in the past five seasons. Every chance.
6
Horse silk
Maria's Benefit46
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: S Edmunds
12/1
Point-to-point winner who failed to sell last year but has a decent jumping pedigree. Perhaps likely to be seen to best effect at longer trips and over obstacles.
7
Horse silk
Melangerieh155
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson
20/1
Not strongly fancied first time out and beat only one home. Top yard immediately opt for a hood today and followers will have to hope it can spark a marked improvement.
8
Horse silk
Midnight Charm27
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste(3)| T: T Symonds
18/1
Good stamina-laden jumps pedigree and ran well in a soft ground Hereford bumper on debut. Will know more about the game this time and likely to get competitive.
9
Horse silk
Oh Michelle27
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies
7/4
Home bred by her trainer and twice a runner-up from three bumper starts to date. Will surely do better over obstacles and a longer trip, but entitled to be thereabouts once again today.
10
Horse silk
Oscar's Song61
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Nailor(7)| T: C E Longsdon
20/1
Encouraging effort when third of 12 on his Ludlow debut in November and yard 1-2 in bumpers here, so a market check is advised.
11
Horse silk
Our Belle Amiet24
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls
16/1
Down the field on her Hereford debut last month when running plenty green enough and continues her education today. Likely to be better over obstacles and when her stamina is brought into play.
12
Horse silk
Redemption Song24
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: K Frost
16/1
Irish point-to-point winner in October and makes her rules debut today. From a yard not known for its debut bumper winners and perhaps best watched unless the market speaks in her favour.
13
Horse silk
River Icon13
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: Dale Irving(5)| T: I Jardine
25/1
Modicum of encouragement on both starts to date, though more likely to be one for the future.
14
Horse silk
Swatow36
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: Miss E C Lavelle
16/1
Failed to sparkle in the sales ring and looks yard's second string on pedigree, though a market check is advised given trainer's record at this track.
15
Horse silk
Timetobenefit24
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Daniel Hiskett(5)| T: R T Phillips
33/1
Irish PTP winner who makes her rules debut representing an in-form yard. Good jumps pedigree to boot and a decent effort would be no surprise.
16
Horse silk
Dame Rose35
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Hobson
10/1
Hung left on Worcester debut and others offer more encouragement today.
17
Horse silk
Floral Bouquet39
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-3| J: G Lee| T: K G Reveley
16/1
Top pilot booked for this, which makes him interesting along with a decent pedigree and, although trainer is now winding down he still has his runners going well. Market check very much advised.
18
Horse silk
Sapphire Noire14
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-3| J: S Bowen| T: N J Hawke
33/1
Bred to stay but represents a yard that is neither red hot nor has had many bumper winners in recent seasons so not difficult to take on today.

Forecasts

Oh Michelle (7/4), Ilovemints (6/1), Majestic Moll (17/2), Dame Rose (10/1), Maria's Benefit (12/1), Redemption Song (16/1), Our Belle Amie (16/1), Floral Bouquet (16/1), Swatow (16/1), Midnight Charm (18/1), Oscar's Song (20/1), Melangerie (20/1), River Icon (25/1), Timetobenefit (33/1), Sapphire Noire (33/1), Angel's Envy (80/1), Kristal Star (100/1), Alflora Muppet (100/1)

Verdict

There shouldn't be too many in this field in with serious chances in the closing stages and MAJESTIC MOLL is taken to see them all off. The most expensive purchase in the field, she is likely to be straight enough to do herself justice and represents a yard that does well in this sphere at the track. Midnight Charm has a lovely jumping pedigree and can improve plenty for her debut, while Oscar's Song is another of that ilk. Oh Michelle can be involved in the race for the frame, though Floral Bouquet has Graham Lee up and he has won 4-14 when riding in bumpers in the past few seasons, so for that reason alone she is entitled to a close market check. 1. Majestic Moll 2. Midnight Charm 3. Floral Bouquet
