Eritage²²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

9/2

Ready winner of only start in France, quickening well to put the race to bed in the latter stages. Has joined top trainer, good jumping pedigree and yard 10-29 in bumpers this season.

Form: 1

Get In The Queue⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry

6/4

A £40,000 Mount Nelson half-brother to three winners, two of them on the Flat. Beat little of note at Uttoxeter but was highly impressive in recording an impressive speed figure and yard 28-75 at this venue.

Form: 1

Kalooki⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White

3/1

€80,000 purchase last year and is half-brother to the decent hurdler/chaser Khruzlinin. Has improved with each run and rates a big danger in receipt of his allowance.

Form: 032

Not Going Out¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Gillard

150/1

Only very moderate form shown in point-to-points and yard don't get winners in this sphere either. Easy enough to pass over.

Form: 3-64P4

Poison Arrow⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin

25/1

Has shown some ability in small fields at Newton Abbot and Chepstow, but this looks far more competitive and the stiffer track will test his stamina.

Form: 24

Arrivederci⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.⁽⁵⁾| T: J & A O'Neill

6/1

Well-related gelding who got the better of a more experienced rival and gruelling conditions to score at Hereford. Looked green that day and will need to have improved a good deal since.

Form: 1

Miss Katniss

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: J Scott

25/1

Unraced Kayf Tara mare out of a dam who did little and representing a yard with a 2-59 record in bumpers over past five seasons.

Form:

Ambion Hill

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard

14/1

€22,000 son of Getaway out of an unraced well-related mare. Stable 0-10 in bumpers here over past five seasons.

Form:

Galtee Mountain

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: R P McLernon| T: J Santos

50/1

Relatively cheap purchase, dam was a point-to-point winner but trainer 0-6 in bumpers last five seasons and on that, easy enough to look elsewhere for the winner.

Form:

Sheshoon Sonny⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

14/1

55,000gns son of Youmzain is a full-brother to dual 1m5f bumper winner White Valiant and half-brother to four flat winners. Got the hang of things late on debut and receives enough weight to worry the principals.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Get In The Queue (6/4), Kalooki (3/1), Eritage (9/2), Arrivederci (6/1), Piggy Winkle (10/1), Sheshoon Sonny (14/1), Ambion Hill (14/1), Miss Katniss (25/1), Poison Arrow (25/1), Galtee Mountain (50/1), Not Going Out (150/1)

Eritage represents a stable whose bumper runners have been in tremendous form this term, but a penalty for winning a minor race in the French provinces makes him less appealing. Kalooki has progressed with each run and has to be considered as does Flat-bred Sheshoon Sonny who stayed on well at Wincanton. GET IN THE QUEUE may have beaten little at Uttoxeter, but he recorded a quick time and his stable's runners here always command respect.
