Mystic Dreamer²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: L P Aspell| T: N J Gifford

12/1

Runner-up behind Silver Forever at Ascot on debut last month having gone off a 33-1 chance. Definite claims if building on that pleasing start.

Redbridge Gold⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

25/1

Winner of a bumper at Doncaster in January on second outing under rules. Did it nicely enough but surely must improve to double tally in this field.

Silver Forever²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| D

11/8

Two wins from three starts in this sphere and has beaten a few of these rivals along the way, rallying impressively to fend off Mystic Dreamer latest at Ascot. Solid claims again.

Whitehotchillifili¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry| D

9/4

Easy winning debut at Southwell on good to soft (form not strong) in December and since finished second at Warwick behind useful rival. Prospects enhanced by Noel Fehily riding, one of two for the yard in this field.

Forecasts

Silver Forever (11/8), Whitehotchillifili (9/4), Misty Whisky (5/1), Mystic Dreamer (12/1), Eyes Right (12/1), Briery Express (16/1), Farne (20/1), Redbridge Gold (25/1), Easter Gold (33/1), Lugg River (66/1), Eleanorofaquitaine (66/1)

Harry Fry's record in bumpers is excellent, with a 29 per-cent strike rate over the last month. He fires two at this prize and in-form Noel Fehily is on board WHITEHOTCHILLIFILI. A winner on debut in December, she possibly met a decent rival next time at Warwick when settling for second. There should be more to come from her and a second success beckons. Silver Forever has already enjoyed two wins and showed a good attitude to repel debutante Mystic Dreamer at Ascot last time. Both are considered, with the latter a likely improver. Mister Whisky, stablemate to the selection, also commands plenty respect.
