Horse A-Z
1
Horse silk
9/2
Sulamani half-brother to bumper winner Harambe, out of a half-sister to smart chaser Bags Groove. Better effort in bumpers when third to Malystic at Newcastle in November. Not seen to best effect at Musselburgh last time, and not dismissed here.
2
Horse silk
28/1
Gold Well gelding out of an unraced mare. Rookie trainer yet to hit the mark, and this gelding is probably one for the longer term.
Closely related to a couple of stayers over jumps, from the family of high-class 3m chaser Sackville. Yard has a reputation for producing bumper winners, but 0-30 in the past year in such races.
4
Horse silk
40/1
Half-brother to a couple of fair sorts. Yard 1-39 in bumpers in last five years, and this gelding didn't offer a great deal on debut at Hexham, looking one for the longer term.
5
Horse silk
10/1
Full-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Avidity, and trainer saddled an impressive debut winner at this track last month. Has had wind surgery prior to this debut, which is a concern, but respected if market speaks for him.

2/1
Flat-bred gelding who was caught in the dying strides when second of 9 to Old Jeroboam in bumper at Wetherby in March for John Quinn. May have stamina limitations in this sphere, but respected on form for new yard.

Easy Bucks

6/1
Getaway gelding out of a point-to-point winner. Represents an in-form yard with a record of 5-21 in this sphere in the past 12 months. One to consider.
8
Horse silk
22/1
Pivotal gelding who is a Godolphin cast-off, bought by his present owner for £7,500 as a 2-y-o. Yard just 1-59 in bumpers in last five years, and passed over unless the subject of support.
9
Horse silk
10/1
Court Cave gelding out of useful hurdler Leblon, her first foal. One of two for yard in this contest, and Streets of Doyen looks the pick on riding arrangements.
Mustameet gelding who is a very rare bumper runner for predominantly Flat-orientated yard (last runner in this sphere in 2011). Half-brother to a fairly useful chaser, but others more appealing on paper.
11
Horse silk
40/1
Half-sister to winners including useful hurdler Norfolk Sky with the dam a winner over 1½m. Has looked limited on the evidence of her three runs to date, although did hint at better last time.
12
Horse silk
33/1
Kayf Tara half-sister to connections' useful 7f-1½m winner Spes Nostra out of a Flat and hurdles winner. Yard 0-26 in this sphere in recent seasons, and she looks one for further down the line.

Forecasts

Biblical (2/1), Dothraki Prince (9/2), Streets Of Doyen (5/1), Easy Bucks (6/1), Largy Mouth (10/1), Abington Park (10/1), Empty Quarter (22/1), Golden Chancer (28/1), Taramanda (33/1), Uknowmymeaning (40/1), Andorns Legacy (40/1), Wahwei Spirit (40/1)

Verdict

BIBLICAL, very much bred for the Flat, may have his stamina limitations, but with conditions placing the emphasis firmly on speed, he is expected to build on the promise of his bumper debut for another yard. Dothraki Prince has place claims for all he was put in his place behind a promising sort at Musselburgh, while Easy Bucks may be the pick of the remainder, although the betting should help sort the unraced runners, several of whom make appeal on pedigree/connections.
