Definitelyanoscar⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry

5/6

A yard that are always to be respected in bumpers and this one makes her Rules debut here having won a point-to-point on her third start. Worth noting any positive market vibes; yard 5/20 in bumpers this season.

Form: P3-1

Kayf Storm³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

7/1

Has a pedigree that makes plenty of appeal (sister to three winners) and although she was rather green on her debut she showed ability. Probably needs a stiffer than she got on her debut and will get here to be seen at her best.

Form: 4

Sweet Adare

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: C Gethings| T: V R A Dartnall

9/1

Debutante who dam was placed in a bumper and is closely related to a couple of useful bumper performers. Stable have only had two bumper runners all season and a rare runner here for them; best watched.

Form:

Tashunka¹⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

11/1

Made little impression in three starts in Irish point-to-points but has joined a yard with a good reputation in this sphere (20% strike-rate this season). Half-sister to a very useful bumper performer though and worth a glance in the market.

Form: P-F7

Truly Amazing⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: R P McLernon| T: Miss E C Lavelle

16/1

Presenting mare who may well appreciate the drying conditions have shaped well on her debut at Doncaster (only beaten 11L). May well have needed that run which has to go down as promising and yard are respected in this sphere.

Form: 6

West Coast Lass

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: R M Smith

100/1

Cost just €3,800 as a three-year-old and a rare runner at the track for this Scottish yard (one earlier on the card). Dam (unraced) is related to a couple of bumper winners but the yard have yet to have a winner in this sphere in the last five years.

Form:

Behranell⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: David Dennis

66/1

Both of her runs so far in bumpers have come up short especially on her debut when she was made favourite at Doncaster (very green). Has a pedigree that appeals (half-sister to six winners); may yet show more but requires a leap of faith to support.

Form: 76

Lady Maleficent¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Bridget Andrews⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton

40/1

Out of an unraced dam from the family of Arkle winner Captain Chris she looked as though she needed more time on her here in October. Did hint at ability though and comes from a top yard so not totally written off.

Form: 8

Miss Alfie Rose

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: P D Niven

66/1

First foal of a Nayef mare who was a winner at up to a mile. Makes her debut here for a yard who should not be underestimated in this sphere and worth a market check.

Form:

Regarding Ruth

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁷⁾| T: L Wadham

22/1

Dam is a half-sister to a fair few useful jumpers the best of which would be the useful hurdler/chaser Fagan. Yard are 0/12 in bumpers this year but have been known to have winners in this sphere and she may be able to play a part.

Form:

Rippling Waters¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: G Lee| T: M R Channon| BF

13/2

Well backed on her debut over C&D back in October and has been given some time since then having shown ability on that occasion (started 9/4 favourite). Looked open to improvement and could well do better this time around with that run tucked away.

Form: 5

Sweet Vinetta⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Ross Chapman⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas

20/1

Start to her career was promising despite showing signs of inexperience in an AW bumper at Newcastle. Managed to lead 2f out but caught close home finally finishing third; form has been advertised by the winner (won again since); respected.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Definitelyanoscar (5/6), Rippling Waters (13/2), Kayf Storm (7/1), Sweet Adare (9/1), Tashunka (11/1), Truly Amazing (16/1), Sweet Vinetta (20/1), Regarding Ruth (22/1), Lady Maleficent (40/1), Miss Alfie Rose (66/1), Behranell (66/1), West Coast Lass (100/1)

This looks quite a deep bumper with some stables that have good records in this sphere represented and Definitelyanoscar is likely to attract some attention coming from the Harry Fry yard and having already won a point-to-point. Sweet Vinetta comes from an AW bumper where the form has already been franked but she has to prove she can repeat that run on turf and RIPPLING WATERS is taken to build on her good debut here in October for a yard that are among the winner at the moment. Truly Amazing and Kayf Storm are two others that made promising debuts and it won’t be a surprise to see either of them build on those initial efforts.
