Nightboattoclyro

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: David Dennis

5/2

Out a decent bumper winner that also went on to score over hurdles/fences. Could have a say on debut with positive jockey booking.

Form:

Jaunty Viking

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Eckley

9/1

Dam a half-sister to useful performers Jaunty Flight and Jaunty Times, stable not noted for bumper winners (0-8 previous 12 months).

Form:

Fricka¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Graham Carson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Carson

10/3

No great shakes on pedigree but shaping well in three starts. Narrowly denied at Huntingdon on soft going in December and finished 4L third at Southwell this month (good) having made running. Strong claims.

Form: 623

Bergamot^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

1/1

Twice-placed in three starts so far, just getting done for a bit of toe late in the piece. Was also a bit keen at Taunton last time before finishing 2½ L second. Only beaten by the jolly, will be in the mix again.

Form: 532

Forecasts

Bergamot (1/1), Nightboattoclyro (5/2), Fricka (10/3), Jaunty Viking (9/1), Fair To Dream (33/1)

BERGAMOT chased home a decent newcomer at Taunton last time and, while maybe lacking a turn of foot, has achieved decent form in his three runs, twice making the frame. He's entitled to go ahead and open his account. The key danger is Fricka, another with decent form already and just foiled last time having made the running at Southwell. Newcomer Nightboattoclyro has Sam Twiston-Davies for company and should be noted in the betting.
