Confirmed the promise of his Catterick debut when scoring by 8L in an Ayr bumper (heavy) last time. Now carries a penalty, but should be able to give another good account on ground that pedigree suggests won't be a problem.
Placed in a maiden bumper on debut in November and ran to a similar level of form next time back at that venue. Can continue his education here but will need improvement to be winning.
Yard not had many bumper runners and yet to have its first winner, but this gelding went with credit on debut when a 5L runner-up at Hexham last month. Can improve for that today and go close.
Very much a Flat pedigree and related to winners at up to 1m and mainly at sprint trips. That has to be a concern coming into this and he looks to be his trainer's first runner under National Hunt rules.
First foal of a dam who was a triple winner on the Flat in France. Yard are 2-66 in bumpers over the past five seasons, including this one's debut at Musselburgh, where he weakened from some way out. Looking to build on that today.
Placed in a couple of Irish bumpers and at 8/1 the market perhaps expected more than she delivered when a 31L fifth of eight on her British debut at Carlisle last month. Better ground may help here and a market check is advised.
Finished marginally ahead of Sense Of Urgency on her debut at Carlisle last month, when an unfancied 25/1 shot. Better ground is likely to suit her here and with natural improvement for that experience she might be capable of making a bit more of an impression.

Forecasts
Golden Jeffrey (7/4), Drums Of War (2/1), French Ticket (7/2), Mighty Thunder (8/1), Sense Of Urgency (9/1), Western Lass (12/1), Porto Du Sud (20/1), Bumbles Babe (25/1), Strike Again (66/1)
With the race named after her Grand National winner, Lucinda Russell might just be on to something here with MIGHTY THUNDER, who is related to a bumper winner and could have a nice future ahead of him. Golden Jeffrey has already won one of these and is respected under his penalty, while French Ticket looks a player and on this better ground Sense Of Urgency might be capable of a return to form.
