Capla Grey

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: N P Littmoden

33/1

Sir Percy gelding from an unraced dam; yard 0-24 with bumper runners previously and looks an unlikely winner on debut.

Form:

Feel The Pinch⁴¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss N Kerslake⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

20/1

Given a tough enough introduction in a Listed bumper last time when well-beaten at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, couldn't improve in lesser event since at Chepstow. Lots of work to be done.

Form: 00-

Jetset Lad

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Littmoden

28/1

Sulamani gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Rosie Revenue and bumper winner/modest chaser Sheepclose. Second runner for trainer, yard 0-24 with bumper runners previously.

Form:

Millstone⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Oakley Brown⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A King| BF

12/1

Half-brother to four winners including Genstone Trail (bumper/3m1f hurdle) and Plum Stone (AW bumper), out of 2m4f winning hurdler. Needs to build on January debut at Warwick to take closer role.

Form: 5

Willie Butler⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: N B King

2/1

A £66,000 five-year-old Yeats gelding, he was twice placed in as many attempts in point-to-points, latest in February, and should be fit enough to do himself justice on rules bow. Watch betting.

Form: 23

Idols's Eye

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss L Bradstock⁽⁷⁾| T: M Bradstock

14/1

Diamond Boy gelding, makes some appeal on breeding and trainer, who doesn't have many bumper runners, is 1-2 in 2019. May find a couple too strong however.

Form:

Mr Perfect

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams

8/1

€15,000 three-year-old, Mustameet gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Listen Dear. Trainer has only modest record in bumpers, potentially best watched here.

Form:

Overflow

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton

11/4

Bonbon Rose gelding is a half-brother to three winners, including Deception Island and Worldly Wise, connections forked out €15,000 to pick him up as a three-year-old and need monitoring on debut run.

Form:

Happy News¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Groucott

80/1

Home-bred (plenty of stamina in the pedigree) and well fended off on recent debut at Stratford, doesn't appeal as sort to come forward enough to land a blow now.

Form: 7

West Coast Glory⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 95

6/1

Fame And Glory mare with plenty going for her on paper, made a pleasing start last month at Wetherby in good-ground bumper and could build on that now.

Forecasts

Willie Butler (2/1), Keen On (2/1), Overflow (11/4), Namib Dancer (7/2), West Coast Glory (6/1), Mr Perfect (8/1), Millstone (12/1), Idols's Eye (14/1), Feel The Pinch (20/1), Jetset Lad (28/1), Capla Grey (33/1), Happy News (80/1)

Namib Dancer is the benchmark from those that have run, though the bar is hardly set high with a C&D third, while Millstone is probably better than he showed on debut at Warwick in January. The newcomers might hold sway however with preference for Nicky Henderson's KEEN ON in the royal silks. He's got plenty going for him on paper and edges the verdict over twice-placed point-to-pointer Willie Butler.
