Unraced son of Sulamani out of a mare who ran three times under Rules. Probably best watched on racecourse debut.

Lil Lazarus

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs S Leech

20/1

Unraced son of Anabaa Blue and a half-brother to the useful Up And Go among others. Worth a check in the market.

5/1

Promising 13½L fifth in a bumper at Southwell (good) when making his debut in November last year. Market support would be notable on his return from a lengthy absence.

Form: 5-

Passing Shadow

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

6/1

Unraced Passing Glance half-brother to a number of winners including the useful Letsby Avenue. Interesting runner for a stable with a 25% strike-rate (2/8) in recent weeks.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

7/2

Unraced No Risk At All gelding bought for £40,000 at the sales last year. Dam a half-sister to four time winner Calideo and one to note on racecourse debut.

4/1

Ran well to finish third in a bumper over an extended 2m at Bangor (soft) when debuting earlier this month. Likely to run well once more.

Welland¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Gina Andrews⁽³⁾| T: Mrs P Sly

7/1

Promising ¾L third in a good ground bumper over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good) in May. Disappointed on good-to-soft ground recently on his return from a break.

Form: 37

Fricka⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Graham Carson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Carson

50/1

Fair effort in finishing 10L sixth in a good ground bumper at Fakenham on debut in October. More needed if she's to take this contest.

Form: 6

Miss Antipova⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Stock⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley

50/1

Well beaten in two bumpers to date including on good ground at Ascot last time out. Others hold stronger claims.

Potters Vision²²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

13/2

Runner-up in a four runner soft-to-heavy ground point-to-point in Ireland in February. Promising fifth in a bumper at Bangor (good) on Rules debut subsequently and interesting on her return from a break.

Forecasts

Pond Road (7/2), Rintulla (4/1), Mind Your Back (5/1), Passing Shadow (6/1), Potters Vision (13/2), Welland (7/1), Dontcounturchikens (8/1), Bean In Trouble (10/1), Lil Lazarus (20/1), Fricka (50/1), Miss Antipova (50/1), Dorado Dollar (50/1)

RINTULLA can get off the mark at the second attempt by taking the concluding bumper. The selection ran a good race when placed on debut recently and he can see off his rivals with the unraced No Risk At All gelding Pond Road taken to finish runner-up ahead of Potters Vision who can step up on her debut effort to finish third.
