Nimby¹²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton

5/2

Impressive 8L winner of an AW bumper at Lingfield (2m) in December. Represents a top yard and is one for the shortlist with a promising conditional jockey up dropping in distance on turf debut.

Form: 1

Rootless Tree⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| D

7/2

Successful by a head in a bumper over an extended 1m5f at Huntingdon (good-to-soft) in January. Had a previous winner back in third that day and is an interesting runner in this contest.

Form: 1

Weapons Out²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: H Whittington

7/2

Placed in a couple of bumpers in the autumn and finished a fair fourth in a 2m bumper at Ludlow (good-to-soft) last month. Promising conditional booked to ride.

Form: 324

Who Shot Jr³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C L Tizzard

50/1

Finished a well beaten ninth of 12 in a bumper over an extended 1m7f at Wincanton (good-to-soft) on debut last month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 9

College Oak^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

10/1

Unraced son of Norse Dancer cost connections £40,000 at the sales in May last year. Dam won a bumper on debut and he is worth a check in the market with a hood worn on first racecourse appearance.

Form:

Earl Of Wisdom

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard

4/1

Unraced Flemensfirth gelding out of a Listed winning jumps mare. Purchased for €85,000 in June last year and market support would be notable on debut.

Form:

Mount Windsor⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: L P Aspell| T: C Gordon

16/1

Fair second in a soft ground C&D bumper in February. Form of that contest nothing special and likely needs to improve if he is to take this race.

Form: 2

Mistral Song¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: M D Grant| T: M Blanshard

66/1

Beaten 22L when finishing seventh of nine in a good ground C&D bumper a fortnight ago. .Others hold stronger claims on this occasion.

Form: 7

Avorisk Et Perils³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

50/1

Beaten 6L when third in a soft ground C&D bumper in February. Held by Mount Windsor on that form and finished well held at Taunton subsequently.

Form: 030

The Lion Queen

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: D Weston

33/1

Unraced daughter of Helmet and a half-sister to the yards multiple winner At First Light among others. Probably best watched on debut however.

Form:

Zero To Hero¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson

25/1

Decent 3L second in a 2m4f point-to-point on good-to-yielding ground at Ballinaboola on debut in February. Bought for £30,000 subsequently and interesting to see how she fares on stable debut.

Form: 20

Forecasts

Nimby (5/2), Weapons Out (7/2), Rootless Tree (7/2), Earl Of Wisdom (4/1), College Oak (10/1), Mount Windsor (16/1), Zero To Hero (25/1), The Lion Queen (33/1), Who Shot Jr (50/1), Avorisk Et Perils (50/1), Mistral Song (66/1)

NIMBY hails from a top yard and he is taken to concede weight all round dropping in distance to register a second bumper success and his first on turf in the concluding race on the card. Rootless Tree, another to have won on debut looks capable of taking second ahead of Weapons Out who has shown decent placed form in bumpers already.
