Won a point-to-point in November and was the good winner of a Wetherby bumper earlier this month (soft). Likely to be going places on the evidence of that and cannot be ruled out from following up under a penalty.
Half-brother to Listed bumper winner Avispa and yard doing well in this sphere this season. Market check advised for this debutant under his useful claimer.
£33,000 purchase with a stamina-laden pedigree. Raced keenly on debut at Ayr in December and his patient trainer has waited before going back to the well Should see some improvement for that and could get involved.
Showed little in beating only three of 17 home on his Warwick debut and best watched again as a result.
Has increased in price in all three sales appearances, the most recent of those seeing him change hands for €60,000. Yard going well and this gelding has a decent pedigree, so an eye on the market is advised.
€12,000 buy who is a half-brother to Killer Miller, who was twice placed in bumpers and won both a hurdle and a chase. Rare bumper runner for his yard and perhaps best watched on his introduction.
£50,000 purchase as a three-year-old and failed to see out the trip on debut at Aintree in November. Been given some time since then and returns here with the potential assistance of a tongue tie. Better anticipated.
Showed a little on his C&D debut last month, though beaten 19L on that occasion. Hood added this time and while he should improve, his yard is still looking for its first bumper winner and it is hard to envisage in what could be a reasonably competitive contest.
Makes little appeal on pedigree and with yard not noted for its bumper runners he looked one to watch for now.
Dam was a very moderate Flat performer, winning over 1m7f from a mark of 39 and this gelding failed to sell last year. Yard's bumpers winners few and far between and a watching brief is recommended.
Trainer yet to have a bumper winner. though this representative nearly broke that duck when ½L runner-up at Newbury last month, finishing ahead of a previous Listed-placed bumper runner of Alan King's. With that to build on he could be a leading player.
Better bred than his modest 10,000 gns purchase price last year would have us believe. Failed to make the racecourse for either Luca Cumani or Roger Varian, but with his yard in form he is certainly worth a market check.

Forecasts
Mon Palois (15/8), My Mate Mark (9/4), Out Of Style (4/1), Billy Elliott (8/1), Fernan (10/1), One For Billy (10/1), Long Mile Road (12/1), Indian Harbour (12/1), Arthur's Reuben (16/1), Subotal (16/1), Soffel (25/1), Mission Trio (28/1), Trentman (66/1), Kala Lord (100/1)
With the yard in such good form Mon Palois should give a good account under a penalty and a follow-up win would not surprise. However, MY MATE MARK made an eyecatching debut in a decent enough field at Newbury and can build on that with a win. One For Billy is among a number of potential improvers, while market checks are advised for Subotal and Long Mile Road.
