2/1

Presenting gelding who cost £34,000 as a three-year-old. Winner at Taunton on debut, held next time under penalty but good second at Fontwell last month off a break and respected again now.

Form: 1-42

Bagan⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton

33/1

Unfancied at 66/1 but promising fourth of 11 on bumper debut at Stratford in June. Went well for a while next time at Uttoxeter before being pulled up. Could be capable of better.

Form: 4P

Dessie's Diamond

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: D J Coakley

8/1

Dubai Destination gelding. Brother to fairly useful 1m-1m2½f winner Try Again. Yard not noted for bumper winners but positive jockey booking ensures he's worth some close scrutiny.

Golden Promise

12/1

Flemensfirth gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stays 3m+) Indian Castle. Worth noting on debut for Jonjo O'Neill.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Harry Swan⁽⁷⁾| T: T E Hyde

5/6

Interesting daughter of Robin Des Champs. Stayed on well to land the spoils in a Cork bumper last month, improved form when second at Down Royal under a penalty since and sets the bar for this test.

Form: P1-12

Spring Storm³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly

100/1

Morozov half-sister to two minor winners out of a dam who won a point-to-point. Well held in last month's debut at Newton Abbot and yard have modest record in this sphere.

Form: 0

Young Sunshine⁴²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: David Noonan| T: J Candlish

66/1

Flat-bred mare, unable to show much in two bumper outings for previous stable and looks forlorn hope starting out for this new yard.

Forecasts

Stacey Sue (5/6), Represented (2/1), Berboru (6/1), Dessie's Diamond (8/1), Golden Promise (12/1), Bagan (33/1), Young Sunshine (66/1), Spring Storm (100/1)

Stacey Sue won at Cork on bumper debut and likely improved on that when second since at Down Royal. She sets the benchmark here as a result, ahead of Taunton scorer Represented. Golden Promise needs a look on debut but winning point-to-pointer BERBORU has joined Ben Pauling and the yard does really well in this sphere, so he earns a tentative vote on rules bow.
