Born For War⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: T R George

1/1

Placed on his final point-to-point start of 2016 but disappointingly beaten when sent off favourite for a similar race to this at Sedgefield in november but an interesting runner nevertheless.

Form: FU2-

Murphy's Nails³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: James Davies| T: T Symonds

12/1

Unraced Milan gelding out of a bumper placed mare. Worth a look in the market.

Form:

Petiville^t1⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: J J Burke| T: Miss R Curtis

10/1

Well beaten on debut at Ffos Las in november, cost 28,000 Euro's as a three year old and worth a check in the market.

Form: 5423-

Rockalzaro

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Adrian Lane| T: D McCain Jnr

8/1

Unraced Balko gelding. Half-brother successful in two point-to-points and placed in a bumper and hails from a yard with a 28% strike rated in bumpers.

Form: 63-

Well Smitten²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

7/1

Expensive purchase as a three year old but well held on debut, yard generally do well in these races so worth a second look in the market.

Form: 7

Stupid Cupid³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: Sheila Lewis

8/1

Winner of a maiden point-to-point at Boulta last month, that form is working out well and a rare bumper runner for her small yard.

Form: 1584-

Runasimi River

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland

7/1

Generous filly, full-sister to useful chaser And The Man. Yard not known for their bumper winners and probably best watched.

Form:

Scotsbrook Night^h⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Bargary⁽³⁾| T: S Lycett

50/1

Beaten at big prices on two bumper outings in november and december and this step up in trip needs to bring about marked improvement for her to figure here.

Form: 07

Forecasts

Born For War (1/1), Runasimi River (7/1), Well Smitten (7/1), Stupid Cupid (8/1), Rockalzaro (8/1), Petiville (10/1), Murphy's Nails (12/1), Stanza Boy (33/1), Scotsbrook Night (50/1)

STUPID CUPID's point-to-point success is working out well and she is taken to provide her trainer with a rare bumper success, she made all on that occasion and with proven stamina she can attempt to do the same in this. Born For War proved disappointing when sent off favourite for his rules debut but is the most likely to chase the selection home while Rockalzaro is also respected coming from a yard with a decent record in these events. 1. Stupid Cupid 2. Born For War 3. Rockalzaro
