5/2

125,000 Euro purchase at Goffs sales last summer. Nicely bred and sent off favourite for debut at Fontwell back in April but was a well-held fourth. Returns having had a wind operation for leading yard and should do better.

Form: 4-

Indieburg

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: H WhittingtonWS

11/2

Sageburg gelding; half-brother to French hurdler Indietir. Dam was a winner in France on the flat. Interesting newcomer for connections that have some nice types. Has had a wind operation prior to debut.

Jeremiah James

4/1

Son of Flat sire Jeremy, he is a half-brother to fair chaser House Rules. Makes his racecourse debut here and yard starting to fire home a few winners, so a decent display would not surprise.

Form:

Myboysam²⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

16/1

Gelded son of Delegator out of a Fantastic Light mare (Fantastisch). Ran a cracker on debut at Huntingdon a year ago but not so good on second start. Returns from ten months off and chances if back to debut form.

9/1

Sholokhov gelding that cost €40,000 as a three-year-old. Half-brother to a couple of smart winners. Dam was placed in bumpers and is a half-sister to chaser Buck's (dam of Big Buck's).

eats mare who was a £20,000 purchase last May. Big prices and well held on all three starts so far and looks up against it once again here.

Forecasts

Flic Ou Voyou (5/2), Jeremiah James (4/1), Espion (5/1), Indieburg (11/2), Ruthless Article (7/1), Supreme Soviet (9/1), At Its Own Expense (14/1), Myboysam (16/1), Cushuish (100/1)

As always the market will be pretty informative for the bumper. Jeremiah James looks an interesting type on paper and his yard won this contest last year. Flic Ou Voyou should do better this term but both Indieburg and ESPION look intersting on paper with slight preference for the latter.
