Adicci³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill

7/2

Shown ability in running second on both starts so far in bumpers, most recently finishing fairly close third at Warwick after six months off. Likely to be straighter now and should be there or thereabouts.

Form: 23

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: Sean Conway

80/1

£1,000 Garuda gelding out of a winning bumper mare. Makes raceourse debut for yard that has yet to have a winner in this sphere so will probably need more time.

Form:

Black Sam's Silver

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien

4/1

£50,000 Black Sam Bellamy gelding, dam half-sister to two fair NH performers. Yard enjoying a trememdous run at present (8-18) so every chance he'll give a good account of himself on racecourse debut.

Form:

Bran

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁷⁾| T: S Edmunds

8/1

Sakhee gelding out of dam who is related to some smart Flat perfomers so shoudln't lack for speed. Yard fairly rare visitors here but do pretty well in bumpers overall so worth checking for any market support on debut.

Form:

Exod'ela²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Jamie Snowden

6/4

Saddler Maker gelding sold for £80,000 after winning Irish maiden point on debut. Promising second on first run for current in-form yard in Fontwell bumper last month and should have learned plenty. Looks sure to be on the premises.

Form: 1-2

Jack Valentine⁴¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Hugh Nugent⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams

8/1

Gelded son of Scorpion who ran a good second on racecourse bow at Listowel in September last year for previous handler. Top yard just beginning to get into gear and quitel likely he'll improve for run after 14-month absence.

Form: 2-

Molpeg²¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Hicks⁽⁷⁾| T: Tracey Leeson

50/1

Won modest Irish maiden point last time for previous handler and makes debut under Rules today. Other make more appeal on paper than this gelded son of Winged Love.

Form: P4P331-

Frau Georgia²⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland

14/1

Germany mare who made a hefty £115,000 at Cheltenham December Sales in 2017. Second at Warwick on debut in January in six-runner bumper prior to poor run when well beaten at Wetherby following month. Not seen since and has a few questions to answer.

Form: 29-

Martha Yeats

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: J Candlish

33/1

Yeats filly with a fair jumps pedigree makes her racecourse bow here for yard going through a fairly quiet spell at present but that have more winner here than any other venue.

Form:

Non-Runners

The Big Sting

Weight: 11-2| Age: 4

T: H Fry J: Mr Martin McIntyre

Forecasts

Exod'ela (6/4), Adicci (7/2), Black Sam's Silver (4/1), The Big Sting (5/1), Jack Valentine (8/1), Bran (8/1), Frau Georgia (14/1), Martha Yeats (33/1), Molpeg (50/1), Beforeypushdachair (80/1)

EXOD'ELA ran well on his bumper debut at Fontwell and in the hope he has come on for that is taken to get off the mark this time around. There are plenty of unexposed types that could make a proper race of it, including newcomers The Big Sting and Black Sam's Silver, both of whom represent yard' in very good form at the moment. It's too early to write off expensive purchase Frau Georgia who may bounce back from a poor run at Wetherby in February, while Adicci and Bran are others who are worth some consideration.
