Longhouse Sale^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| CD

2/11

Point-to-point winner in May and impressive winner of two bumpers subsequently. First of those came over C&D and he looks likely to prove hard to beat under a penalty.

Form: 111

Army Boots

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: S Gollings

20/1

Unraced son of Great Palm out of a mare who ran in two point-to-points. Stable are 2/11 in bumpers in recent years and he is worth a check in the market.

Form:

Ace Cheetah⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: J R Jenkins

66/1

Signs of ability in three starts in bumpers since joining this yard. Gelded since finishing 52L fifth at Stratford (good) in May and more needed in this contest.

Form: 5-65

Forewarning^t¹⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: James Corbett⁽⁵⁾| T: S Corbett

8/1

Placed twice in bumpers including when beaten a head over 1m5f here on debut last October. Well beaten at Musselburgh upped to an extended 1m7f in January and interesting to see how he fares on seasonal debut.

Form: 235-

Juriste

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: R Johnson| T: P A Kirby

11/2

Unraced gelding by Lawman purchased for 9,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a couple of useful Flat performers and market support would be interesting on debut.

Form:

Vanilla Breeze²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: S A Harris

66/1

Held in three outings in bumpers so far. Beaten 18L at Southwell (good) on her most recent start and needs to improve if she's to figure in this contest.

Form: 985

Forecasts

Longhouse Sale (2/11), Juriste (11/2), Forewarning (8/1), Army Boots (20/1), Ace Cheetah (66/1), Vanilla Breeze (66/1)

LONGHOUSE SALE can maintain his unbeaten record by taking the concluding bumper. The selection is penalised for two previous bumper wins but looks a horse with plenty of potential and he can see off his rivals here with Juriste, related to a couple of useful Flat performers taken to finish runner-up. Third place can go the way of Forewarning who has run well in this sphere in the past.
