1/5
From a yard that are having a good season in bumpers this one was a point-to-point winner on his debut when with Philip Rowley before winning by 8L on his bumper debut at Wetherby. Well backed on his debut in what looked a strong bumper (form not tested as yet) he should be able to follow-up here under a penalty.
Showed a fair amount of ability when third over C&D in what looked a decent bumper run on testing ground at the start of last year. Only seen once more after that at Hexham under far less testing conditions and went backwards from his debut; now returns after a long break.

66/1
Yard 0/22 with their bumper runners in the last five years and this one hasn't really proved a threat on her two starts so far both over this C&D. Hinted at a little ability on her second run but looks to have a tough task here and could well be booked for the minor slot.

Forecasts

Black Pirate (1/5), Big Bad Dream (7/2), Ciarabella (66/1)

Verdict

A rather disappointing end to the card with just three going to post for the bumper and on what the trio have shown so far this looks at the mercy of impressive Wetherby winner BLACK PIRATE from the James Ewart yard that are going well in this sphere and he should be able to cope with the penalty. His main rival looks to be the twice raced Big Bad Dream who has shown some ability but returns from a break and may need this although the yard are 4/10 in bumpers this season and have won with their last two bumper runners both those had a recent run though. Ciarabella looks to have a tough task here will do well to split the other two on what she has shown so far.
  1. Black Pirate
  2. Big Bad Dream
  3. Ciarabella
