€20,000 purchase as a three-year-old by Getaway out of an unraced half-sister to the yard's Grand National runner-up Cappa Bleu. Trainer 18-164 with debutants in bumpers.
Court Cave gelding out of a bumper/hurdle winner who is a half-sister to Irish Cavalier. Heavily supported ahead of his Ayr debut but conditions were testing and he could only finish third. Better ground forecast here and stable enjoying a good run.
Well beaten at big prices on both starts and hard to see him being a factor until sent jumping and tackling longer trips than this.
Half-brother to bumper/hurdle winner Basford Ben. Yard 0-11 in bumpers over past five seasons and others look more likely winners.
Half-brother to a couple of Flat winners and a winning point-to-pointer. Represents a small yard who are yet to have a bumper winner.
€70,000 three year old purchase by Presenting is a half-brother to a bumper winner out of a dam who won over hurdles and fences. Looked in need of the experience on his Newbury debut and bred to be better than the form indicates.
Half-brother to two winners including Josh's Dreamaway who also landed a bumper. Stable are 1-52 in bumpers over the past five years.
€35,000 buy out of a dam who is a half-sister to the high class bumper/2m-2m5f hurdle winner Dunguib. Finished clear of the remainder when going down by a neck on debut and that could be good enough here. In form stable excel in these races.
Dam was an unraced half-sister to several winners. Cost just £6,000 as a three-year-old and looks one to pass over given the yard isn't renowned for success in this sphere.
Kept on to finish fifth in a slowly run race on Ludlow debut. That fitness advantage probably counts more than the value of the form, but a better pace here would help.
A half-brother to a 1m4f Listed Flat winner Variable with the dam a Group 1 two-year-old winner. Wasn't seen to best effect on his debut at Newton Abbot but may well be one for the longer term having struggled to land a blow last time.
Half-sister to the yard's 2m5f-2m7f winning hurdler Pennant Dancer. A slow pace would hardly have helped on debut, however she may still find a few of these too quick.
Forecasts
Peculiar Places (11/8), Cydercourt (4/1), Irish Prince (7/1), Wimpole (8/1), Cappaway (10/1), Totterdown (12/1), L'auberge Du Bois (16/1), Pennant Legend (20/1), Rolling Along (25/1), Hymn And A Prayer (33/1), El Scorpio (33/1), Earcomestom (66/1)
Cydercourt was the subject of strong support ahead of his debut but heavy ground put paid to his chances and he could only finish third. He faces contrasting conditions here on his retrieval mission, but may find PECULIAR PLACES too strong. It is hard to oppose Warren Greatrex bumper runners at the best of times and even more so when they are in similar form as at present. The yard took the penultimate running of this in 2011 and, boasting the pick of the form in this, he should prove had to beat. Irish Prince will improve for his Newbury debut, whilst Cappaway looks the pick of the newcomers and warrants a market check.
