As I See It²⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr M Legg⁽⁵⁾| T: H Fry

2/1

Half brother to the useful mare Chocca Wocca, has joined a top yard after winning a point-to-point at Buckfastleigh at February and although yard are 0-3 with their bumper runners here, he still looks one of the more likely ones on paper.

Form: 31-

Ballymagroarty Boy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Robert Hawker⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke

50/1

Some chase winners in the family but pedigree suggests he's one that will need a bit of time, and some obstacles to jump. Yard 0-6 in bumpers here last five years and others make more appeal.

Form:

Bigchextocash²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr H D Dunne⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater

16/1

Not done much in point-to-points but yard had a similar type in General Consensus who hit the frame at a big price in a Punchestown bumper, so worth a market check.

Form: 5UU5-

Coolanly²²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

5/2

Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and although he will want further than this in time, yard are flying with their bumper runners at present and get winners here. Good conditional booked and could go close.

Form: 3P1-

Duke Of Kilcorral¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr James King⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland

50/1

First start for this yard, will almost certainly want further and hasn't shown much to date. Best watched.

Form: 80-

Faint Hope¹⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: M Hamill⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris

33/1

Yard not known for bumper winners but hard to knock what this one has done to date, finishing a good fourth to useful Dans Le Vent at Ludlow and not disgraced at Exeter final start. May go well at decent odds.

Form: 4-6

Fairmount¹⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Stock⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley

20/1

Related to plenty of chase winners (including the useful chaser Dare To Endeavour) and a nice introduction at Southwell, when a close fifth to Whoshotwho, bears well for his future. Will have learnt from that and one to consider.

Form: 5

First Flow²⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Richard Condon⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

8/1

Some appeal on pedigree and plenty of stamina on the dam's side, travelled well on debut at Exeter in February and will progress from that. Yard going better now and should be able to play a part if fit after a break.

Form: 4-

Jimmy Bell¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea

50/1

Not disgraced behind Forgot To Ask in a good race here in April but couldn't reproduce that at Stratford last time, hanging under pressure. Questions to answer now and others prefered.

Form: 55-5

Joyrider³²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle

9/2

Nice pedigree and plenty to like about his fourth to the ill-feted Neon Wolf on his only start last December, and the removal of the hood today can probably be viewed as a positive. Yard 1-7 in bumpers here last five years and he could go close.

Form: 4-

One More Bid

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Daniel Sansom⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Wall

100/1

Yard are 0-27 in bumpers over the last five years and this one looks unlikely to break that stat today.

Form:

Take Em Out^t1¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: George Blackwell⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| BF

20/1

Good first effort at Taunton in April but couldn't follow that up (when made favourite) at Exeter later in the month. Not seen since, tongue tie given a try today but now has a little to prove.

Form: 2225-

Top Garry²¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings⁽³⁾| T: S Edmunds

33/1

Useful looking individual that was simply too green on debut at Huntingdon last April, but was getting the hang of it late. Will know a lot more this time and yard get winners in this sphere, so one that warrants close scrutiny in the market.

Form: 6-

Annie Probus

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Kieron Edgar⁽³⁾| T: C J Down

100/1

Yard not known for bumper winners (0-23 last five seasons) and this one only makes very limited appeal on that.

Form:

Bonza Girl

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss V Wade⁽⁷⁾| T: J Scott

33/1

Only the one winner in 50 runners for the yard in bumpers last five years, and their runners tend to be slowly brought along. Some appeal on pedigree but others make more appeal.

Form:

Jubilee Lass¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: P C Dando

200/1

Well beaten on both starts (one point-to-point, one bumper) and makes next to no appeal here.

Form: P-8

Forecasts

As I See It (2/1), Coolanly (5/2), Joyrider (9/2), First Flow (8/1), Bigchextocash (16/1), Fairmount (20/1), Take Em Out (20/1), Faint Hope (33/1), Top Garry (33/1), Bonza Girl (33/1), Duke Of Kilcorral (50/1), Jimmy Bell (50/1), Ballymagroarty Boy (50/1), One More Bid (100/1), Annie Probus (100/1), Jubilee Lass (200/1)

Plenty need consideration in what could be a useful field, and choosing between them isn't easy. JOYRIDER just gets the vote, as the yard often introduce a decent one here and he showed more than enough in debut to think he's up to winning a bumper. Top Garry is a lovely big sort that will do better and was simply too green to do himself justice on debut, He can improve here, and the yard know the time of day in these events. Coolanly, As I See It and Fairmount are others with strong claims.
