Off time: 16:26 | Winning time: 4m 11.9s

Charin' Cross³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Finian O'Toole⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond

25/1

Nice enough pedigree where jumping is concerned and one to watch on debut unless the market speaks highly of him.

Form: 938-

Ghafaan²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: G Lee| T: C Grant

14/1

Plenty of stamina in the pedigree and should do better in time. Good pilot booked so, as usual, watch the market for clues though yard's profile in bumpers at this track is not quite so positive.

Form: 63

It's Your Move²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison

6/1

Placed in a point-to-point in November and makes his debut under rules here. Forecast conditions should suit given his pedigree and yard has already had several winners here in bumpers this season, so one to keep on the right side of.

Form: 3

Mon Palois²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

13/2

Has thus far raced only on a sound surface in point-to-points, winning one of them on good. Dam's side of pedigree suggests that he may still be able to act on this forecast slower ground and yard's only bumper runner here in the past five years was a winner, so chance is respected.

Form: 3114-

Oscar Mor²¹

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

9/4

Hails from a yard that does well at this track and in this sphere and this representative comes here after success in a point-to-point last March (soft/heavy). Very likely to be ready to do himself justice and has to be on the short-list.

Form: 1-54

Pride Of Pemberley⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Jamie Snowden

14/1

Has had the benefit of a run in this discipline and that Ffos Las effort was not without promise, though one or two others make more appeal today.

Form: 54

Triangulate²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Joe Colliver| T: Micky Hammond

66/1

Last of nine on debut and needs vast improvement to be winning this time around.

Form:

Bertie Blake³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: A Nicol| T: P A Kirby

14/1

Stamina-laden pedigree and represents a yard not noted for first-time bumper winners, so likely to do better with time.

Form: 8

Eskendash²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly

5/2

Has found one too good in all three bumpers thus far, racing on good twice ad good to soft. Certainly not out of this, though clearly vulnerable where the win is concerned.

Form: 222

Reminding³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Ross Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: Julia Brooke

100/1

Yard not yet had a bumper winner and this juvenile's pedigree does not stand out off the page by comparison to others here, so taken on first time up.

Form:

Slaying The Dragon¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: N Tinkler

28/1

Pedigree doesn't really place an emphasis on the stamina he will need to be winning this at the first time of asking, though yard's runners in reasonable form.

Form:

Non-Runners

Out Of Style⁶⁸⁹

Weight: 11-3| Age: 6

T: F O'Brien J: Conor Shoemark

Forecasts

Oscar Mor (9/4), Eskendash (5/2), Out Of Style (5/1), It's Your Move (6/1), Mon Palois (13/2), Pride Of Pemberley (14/1), Ghafaan (14/1), Bertie Blake (14/1), Charin' Cross (25/1), Slaying The Dragon (28/1), Triangulate (66/1), Reminding (100/1)

Probably best to concentrate on the runners of those stables that do well in this sphere and point-to-point winner OSCAR MOR is the suggestion. Kim Bailey is 1-1 at the track in bumpers, so we have a healthy respect for his representative Mon Palois, while Eskendash and It's Your Move are others for the short-list. 1. Oscar Mor 2. It's Your Move 3. Mon Palois
