9/2
Plenty of encouragement to be derived from two starts at Warwick and Ludlow. Already boasts a decent level of form and should be on the premises if handling this softer ground.

10/1
Better of two bumper runs at Southwell last time. Nicely bred and looks the type to do better once she goes hurdling.

14/1
No shortage of promise in outings at Chepstow (winner has gone in twice over hurdles since) and Taunton. Returns from a lay-off and market will be the best guide to her chance.

Horse silk
33/1
Daughter of Dr Massini and a half-sister to a multiple winning point-to-pointer. Mid-division, but beaten a long way on her only start in a bumper at Chepstow. Top claimer rides again and significant improvement is needed.
Daughter of Oscar out of a Be My Native mare. From a winning family and one to check in the market on her racecourse debut.

4/5
Court Cave mare who was an easy point-to-point winner on soft ground and was bought by her top stable for £175,000 last month. Makes plenty of appeal and it will be interesting to see if there is significant money for her.
7
Horse silk
4/1
Half-sister to two bumper winners, out of a 2m1f-2m6f hurdle/chase winner. Stable always to be respected in this sphere, but she showed only limited promise on debut and needs to step forward.
Home-bred daughter of Saint Des Saints out of a six-time winning mare who was placed in a bumper on debut. Not disgraced when fifth of 10 on her debut at Wetherby and should do better.

Forecasts

Queens Cave (4/5), Shapiro (4/1), Chequered View (9/2), Coded Message (10/1), Jaunty Soria (14/1), Strawberry Spirit (14/1), Oscars Little Rose (20/1), Massini's Vision (33/1)

Verdict

Of those to have run in bumpers, Chequered View boasts the best form. However, she is by no means bombproof and there has to be a strong possibility that the newcomer, QUEENS CAVE, will prove too strong. She cost plenty after winning a point-to-point and may well be good enough to win a bumper at the first time of asking. Shapiro represents a stable which does well in these contests, while Jaunty Soria has looked promising and can figure.
  1. Queens Cave
