8/1
Well beaten on debut here in March but better on second start at Plumpton last month and in a very weak-looking event, that's just about the best form on show. Yard 12% in bumpers and has place chances at worst.

Related to a few winners but most of them are at sprint trips, so there has to be some doubts regarding his stamina for this. Yard 3-34 in bumpers last five years and others readily make more appeal.

8/1
Bred to have a bit of speed about her, and arguably a test like this should suit. Not the worst debut at Lingfield in November but went backwards on second start, well beaten off. Decent jockey booking and could do better today.

6/4
€5,000 purchase back in 2014, has been given time as her pedigree suggests she'll do much better once seeing some obstacles (related to some quite smart sorts). Yard 0-10 in bumpers but this is weak and if she's got any ability, could take a hand.

Hot In The City
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: R Walford
8/1
Decent jumps pedigree, dam Kasamba was a fairly useful hurdles and chase winner and she herself is related to two good hurdles winners. However, yard 0-22 in bumpers last five years, which is enough to make you look elsewhere.

22/1
Bred to appreciate a speed test more than a few of these, dam related to a few winners on the Flat but yard just don't have winners in this sphere. Easy enough to pass over.

In good hands, made favourite for debut at Wetherby last December but well beaten, and she did no better at Fakenham last month. Cheekpieces now tried but she's simply not shown enough to be considered here.

Forecasts

Doyannie (6/4), Major Caballo (7/2), Annajemima (8/1), Hot In The City (8/1), En Coeur (8/1), Mergeela (10/1), Velvet Moonlight (22/1), Bonne Nuit (33/1)

Verdict

You'll struggle to find a bumper as weak as this, with those having had a run only showing moderate form, and those unraced making only minimal appeal for varying reasons. Given he has the experience under his belt, and Seamus Mullins does at least have a decent strike rate in bumpers, EN COEUR might be good enough. He showed much more on his second start and another step forward on that might be good enough here. Doyannie might be the best of the newcomers and is worth a market check, and perhaps Annajemima could take third.
