Dam won a bumper and had placed form over hurdles. Yard can ready a newcomer and market support should be noted.

Fails to catch the eye on breeding. Would be a surprise winner on debut.

Closely related to a winner on the Flat. Receives weight from the older horses and is another one to consider.

Kept on well to finish close fourth when 10-1 for a bumper at Towcester in November. Each-way prospects if builing on that promisinng run.

Stayed on into modest third when 5-1 for a bumper at Exeter on New Year's Day. Should find a race in due course and no surprise if it's this one.

Trainer in good form and is capable of winning with a newcomer. Market support should be noted.

Well beaten on debut at Towcester. Better effort next time when 33-1 fourth at Cheltenham. Could go well again.

Verdict

An interesting and competitive bumper to end the Kempton card. Nicky Henderson won both divisions of this race in 2015 and saddled a winner and a third in the two divisions 12 months ago. He can be on the mark again with point-to-point winner WHATSWRONGWITHYOU. Book Of Gold looks best of those with previous bumper experience and is taken to fill the runner-up position. The Philip Hobbs-trained pair Motueka and Springtown Lake are also respected. 1. Whatswrongwithyou 2. Book of Gold 3. Springtown Lake
