Half-brother to Paul Nicholls' Great Try who is a winner of a bumper. Stable are capable of getting one ready in this class so a market check is advised.
32.,000 guineas yearling and half-brother to three winners including useful Flat performer Rodrigo de Torres and five time winner Rock of Leon. Stable used to have a great record in these races but this is a rare runner for them now. One to note in the market.
Had a sighter over 1m6f in December and will appreciate this extra 2f today. Stable are going through a lean spell but are 2-4 in bumpers here.
Yard know this family well as he is closely related to the useful chaser Barbers Shop and Maestro Royal who has won three over hurdles. Yard have a tremendous record in these races and are 7-16 around here.
€9,000 purchase out of a dam who won five point-to-points. Stable are just 2-42 in these races over the past five seasons.
Had three subsequent winners behind when landing a point-to-point in a good time. Stable are in good form but are just 1-14 in bumpers around here.
Last of 10 on his bumper debut. Hard to see why he should figure in what may prove to be an even stronger race.
€13,000 purchase who raced plenty keen enough at Catterick on debut before fading. Second in bad ground a Ayr next time but this looks a better race. Yard in good form and traditionally does well with these types. Sire is not an influence for stamina.

Royal Ruby (5/2), Cabaret Queen (5/2), Who's My Jockey (9/2), Indian Harbour (5/1), Chesterman (7/1), Leodis (7/1), Truckers Lodge (7/1), Another Crick (16/1), Mountain Chimes (20/1), Cobalt Marthen (25/1), Caporali (66/1), Red Type (66/1)
TRUCKERS LODGE dead-heated with Empire Burleque in a Ballindenisk point-to-point. That horse looked useful when landing a bumper for Gordon Elliot. Tom George has been mopping up in these events this season and he may have another nice prospect on his hands here. In contrast Who's My Jockey's trainer, Philip Hobbs, has been operating well below his 17 percent strike rate in these races this season. As a relative of Hurricane Fly and three winners on the Flat he makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Nicky Henderson's runners in these races have to be respected and Royal Ruby is shortlisted in what looks a hot race for this grade at this venue. Cabaret Queen, Leodis, Chesterman and Indian Harbour are all respected and worthy of attention in the betting market.
