4/1
Kayf Tara filly who cost £42,000 at the Cheltenham sales in May and is from the family of decent jumps performer The Jigsaw Man. Fair form in her first two bumper starts but this looks like it will take more winning.

Elena Sue
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy
6/1
Half-sister to a bumper winner and a middle-distance scorer on the Flat. Stable 10-24 in bumpers this season and one for the shortlist.

14/1
Daughter of Sulamani out of an Overbury mare, she is a half-sister to three winners over hurdles and a bumper. Third in a heavy ground Hereford bumper on debut last April and this looks stronger.

Soon in trouble on bumper debut in November and hard to believe she will have made the progress necessary to be competitive.

8/1
Stable having a below average year in this class of event and she has plenty to find judged on her track debut a month ago.
Midnight Legend mare out of a dam who won three races for this yard on soft ground. Stable had first and third in this last year.

Horse silk
10/1
Sulamani half-sister to a point-to-point winner and dam comes from a good family. Yard 1-27 in bumpers this term.
Bought for £35,000 having beaten a subsequent winner in a Bartlemy point-to-point on testing ground. May want more of a test in time but stable had first and third in this 12 months ago.

100/1
Half-sister to a winning point-to-pointer who was tailed off at Hereford on debut. Tongue-tie on this time and it would be a surprise if that proved to be enough.

Sorbet26
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-4| J: Maxime Tissier(5)| T: L Wadham
5/1
Has shown up well in a couple of 1m4f bumpers but she can be a bit keen so she will need to settle much better over this trip.
Half-sister to Thomas Crapper but who only beat one home on Ffos Las debut. That run suggests she is a long way below the level required here.

Forecasts

Subway Surf (11/4), Crackle Lyn Rosie (4/1), Sorbet (5/1), Miss Gemstone (11/2), Elena Sue (6/1), Madam Malina (8/1), Ruby Ring (10/1), Jaunty Velocity (14/1), Tybielass (25/1), Youvebrokenmydream (50/1), Sunny Girl (100/1), Light Of Athena (100/1), Piccolo Ramoscello (100/1)

Verdict

Kim Bailey has a 6-13 record in bumpers here over the past five seasons and had first and third in this corresponding race 12 months ago. The yard are doubly represented with jockey bookings suggesting SUBWAY SURF is their main hope. The point-to-point winner recorded a fair time in beating a subsequent winner and may prove good enough to take this ahead of Elena Sue who makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Sorbet and Crackle Lyn Rosie have placed form in similar company with the latter preferred having shown she stays this far.
