Unraced gelded son of Stormy River out of a winning Flat mare in France. Worth a check in the market for a stable who can boast a 17% strike-rate (4/23) in bumpers in recent seasons.
Purchased for €55,000 at the breeze-up sales last year but under pressure when unseating rider in a bumper over an extended 1m5f at Towcester (good) last month. Stepping up in trip today.
Unraced home-bred son of Mount Nelson and a half-brother to useful hurdler Spice Fair. Stable not renowned for debut winners and probably best watched today.
Promising debut prior to weakening late on when finishing eighth in a bumper over an extended 1m5f at Towcester (good) last month. Yard in good form at present (5/22) and interesting to see how he fares upped in trip.
Ran well to finish third in a bumper over an extended 1m5f at Towcester (good) on last months debut. Had a couple of today's rivals behind him on that occasion and he is one for the shortlist today.
Unraced son of Soldier Of Fortune purchased for £2,000 at the sales in August last year. Half-brother to a winner on the Flat in France and market support would be interesting on racecourse debut.
Plenty to like about his three outings in bumpers so far including when 5L second over 1m6f at Carlisle (soft) on his penultimate outing. Step up in trip looks likely to suit and he is one to note in this contest.
Unraced daughter of Kap Rock and a half-sister to four time winner Dom Lukka. Market support would be interesting for a small stable on racecourse debut.
Unraced daughter of Dr Massini out of a winning hurdler. Yard 0/10 with their bumper horses in recent seasons and others make more appeal today.
Finished well beaten when making her debut in a 1m5f bumper at Exeter (good-to-soft) in October. More needed if she's to register her first career success today.
Forecasts
Topofthecotswolds (5/4), Zoltan Varga (11/4), Apres Le Deluge (7/1), Zee Man (12/1), Involve (12/1), Azumini (14/1), Kestrel Valley (25/1), France Du Lukka (25/1), Call Him Anything (25/1), Nowheretoexit (33/1)
TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS made a pleasing debut when placed at Towcester last month and he is taken to go one better than when runner-up on that occasion. The selection represents a leading yard and can get the better of Zoltan Varga who shapes as if this step up in trip will suit while the debutant Apres Le Deluge can claim third on his racecourse debut.
