Everlanes^t¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: A J Honeyball| DWS

8/1

Won at Southwell on debut in November then very respectable fifth in listed bumper at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. Has had wind surgery since then and should go well if her breathing op has done the trick.

Form: 15

Miss Heritage¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: D R C Elsworth| D

5/2

By Pour Moi and bred for the Flat, she made an impressive winning debut when slamming her seven rivals in heavy ground at Taunton recently. Big chance if as effective on better ground and looks a serious contender.

Form: 1

Cup Of Gold⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case

50/1

Raced five times in point to points, failing to finish on three occasions . Hopes rest on her being imropved by good yard but is hard to fancy on what we have seen so far.

Form: PP/6-4F

Destinee Royale

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Alain Cawley| T: Miss V Williams

8/1

Bred for jumping and cost a healthy £56,000 as a three-year-old. Has been given plenty of time to mature and market should indicate if she's ready to go well first time out.

Form:

Drift

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: Noel Williams

16/1

£2,500 daughter of With The Flow. Doesn't look anything special on pedigree but yard had a winner recently so worth a market check.

Form:

Jumbo Davis⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: H Whittington

7/2

Runner-up in Irish maiden point to point and makes Rules debut here. Represents a good yard and is related to a number of decent horses so definitely one to keep a close eye on.

Form: P2

Oldtown Polly⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: B G Powell

33/1

Landed mares maiden point to point in Ireland last time but subsequently bought for just £5,500 suggesting the form of that was nothing special. Looks to have plenty on her plate on Rules debut.

Form: U0631

Orchard Moon²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: M D Grant| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

50/1

Didn't show a great deal on debut when distant fourth at Uttoxeter on heavy ground. Should be better for the experience but needs significant improvement to figure in this event.

Form: 4

Viking Ruby

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland

25/1

Sulamani mare whose dam is half-sister to good staying chaser Harry The Viking. Yard does well in these events so any market support would be very interesting.

Form:

Yellow Dockets^h1¹⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

5/1

Second in Irish mares maiden point to point on only start and has joined top yard. Dam from family of champion hurdler Gaye Brief. Wears hood on debut but very much respected given connections.

Form: 2

Liberty Bella¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: T E Whelan| T: B Eckley

25/1

Ran a fair race on second of three bumper starts so far but overall form doesn't look up to the required standard and may do better once she faces eight flights of hurdles.

Form: 545

Regarding Ruth³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: D A Jacob| T: L Wadham

8/1

Showed ability when fair third of 12 on racecourse bow at Market Rasen last month. Should have improved for that experience and not out of the reckoning for a place at least with good jockey booking catching the eye.

Form: 3

Slaine²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: G C Maundrell

40/1

Daughter of Brian Boru makes her racecourse debut here for capable permit holder. Will almost certainly improve for the experience and is not expected to trouble the principals.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Miss Heritage (5/2), Jumbo Davis (7/2), Yellow Dockets (5/1), Deadringerforlove (6/1), Destinee Royale (8/1), Everlanes (8/1), Regarding Ruth (8/1), Lilliput Lane (10/1), Storm Goddess (14/1), Drift (16/1), Viking Ruby (25/1), Liberty Bella (25/1), Oldtown Polly (33/1), Slaine (40/1), Orchard Moon (50/1), Cup Of Gold (50/1)

There are a host of unknown quantities in this bumper but it's hard to get way form the fine pedigree of DEADRINGERFORLOVE who is a half-sister to the 2017 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Sizing John. She may be good enough to make a winning debut. Yellow Dockets looks sure to improve having joined a top yard and is respected along with Southwell winner Everlanes and the still unexposed Taunton winner Miss Heritage. Jumbo Davis, Regarding Ruth and Viking Ruby are others worth noting for any market moves.
