28/1

Fair ninth over this C&D on debut in November 2016 and interesting to see how he fares in a first time hood on stable debut having finished fourth at Uttoxeter (2m good) in July 2017 on his only subsequent start.

Failed to finish in two point-to-points this season including when running out early on at Larkhill (3m, good) earlier this month. Others make more appeal on Rules debut.

Finished well beaten in a point-to-point bumper at Barbury Castle (2m, soft) in January last year. Probably best watched on first start under Rules.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: M Roberts

6/1

Best effort in three starts so far came when winning over an extended 1m4f at Wetherby (soft) last time out. Purchased for £18,000 by current connections subsequently and is one to note on stable debut.

5/1

Unraced Empire Maker colt bought for £9,000 at the sales last August. Dam won over 5f as a two-year-old and interesting to see how he performs on debut.

Decent effort when 19L seventh in a ten runner Listed bumper at Cheltenham (1m6f, good-to-soft) on debut at the start of this month. This looks a weaker contest.

Forecasts

Rootless Tree (11/10), Ehmaj (5/1), Conchita (6/1), The Cruix (8/1), Roaring Fury (12/1), Volunteer (16/1), Jakamani (16/1), Jacamar (25/1), I'm British (28/1), Berry Poppins (33/1), Gritt (33/1), Tambourine Sam (40/1), Don't Think So (50/1), Lawyersgunsn'money (66/1), Zambino (100/1)

ROOTLESS TREE was an expensive purchase at the sales and the well-bred four-year-old can get off the mark at the first attempt for a good yard in this concluding bumper. Conchita was a winner last time out and can finish runner-up on debut for this stable while third place can go to The Cruix who is a brother to a high class Flat performer.
