7/4
Landed bumper here in June on second racecourse appearance. Shown fair form in two starts over timber although repeatedly jumped left when third at Doncaster last time. This tighter track may help and he should be thereabouts.

Place din 2-3 bumpers so far including runner-up at Doncaster last month, although well held. Should win a race or two over timber so interetsing to see if he attracts any market support for a yard in respectable form at present.

4/7
Second at Warwick in February and when a short-priced favoruite at Ludlow last month where may not have got home over 2m5f. This trip looks more suitable and top yard has impressive 30% winning strike rate at this venue.

Dr Massini gelding beaten a very long way on only start so far in bumper at Worcester last summer when trained by Ivan Furtado. Makes debut for new stable and looks to have a very tough task.

14/1
Mostly modest form but did appear to improve somewhat for first-time cheekpieces when 66/1 third in Wincanton maiden hurdle a couple of weeks ago. Much more required here but may have turned the corner and not completely out of it.

Forecasts

Falco Blitz (4/7), Boomarang (7/4), Elton Des Mottes (8/1), Not Going Out (14/1), Dontcounturchikens (16/1), Steady Away (25/1), Champagne Mist (50/1), Russian's Legacy (66/1), Lucky Finnegan (66/1)

Verdict

This is only a modest event and may be within the compass of FALCO BLITZ who has shown some ability and whose top yard has a 30% strike rate at this track. Boomarang is a danger and could make life tough for the selection if jumping straighter than at Doncaster last time, while Dontcounturchikens and Champagne Mist are others who could improve and take a hand in proceedings.
