Captain Dinosaur

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPhersonWS

14/1

Already had a wind op prior to his debut; yard are 3-31 with bumper newcomers in the last five years (1-4 at Bangor). Half-brother to poor hurdler Vodka Island, makes his debut aged six others make more appeal.

Form:

Chazza³⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

15/8

Point-to-point winner at third attempt, makes his Rules debut for a yard who should always be respected in this sphere. 16-72 with bumper debutants (last five years); half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Westland Row, likely to get involved.

Form: F41-

Llandinabo Lad²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Nixon⁽⁵⁾| T: T Symonds

1/1

Form of his debut bumper at Warwick has worked out well and his sound effort after an eight month break at Ascot last time (runner-up) suggests he can win a modest bumper. Connections appear to have found an ideal opportunity here.

Form: 4-2

Word Has It³³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: D McCain JnrWS

5/1

5yo purchased for £70,000 after being placed in both his Irish point-to-point starts late last year. Given a wind op prior to his Rules/bumper debut, has to be respected in a race that won't take much winning; looks the stables first choice.

Form: 32-

No Frontier¹⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Hugh Nugent⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux

66/1

Hinted at modest amount of ability on her C&D bumper debut despite eventually finishing well held. Did a little better when last seen at Warwick fading after being prominent for a fair way; more needed to trouble the principals.

Form: 90

Llandinabo Lad (1/1), Chazza (15/8), Mighty Meg (3/1), Word Has It (5/1), Khamsin Moor (8/1), Captain Dinosaur (14/1), No Frontier (66/1)

Not a particular enthralling or deep contest to end the card with connections of LLANDINABO LAD looking to have found a weaker event than the two that he’s contested with aplomb so far. The form of his debut effort has worked out well while his second at Ascot last time out may have come in a weaker event than usually found at that course but if repeated it will still be good enough to take this. Don McCain’s runners are always to be respected around here but his bumper record of late especially with newcomers is poor and that dents the chance of Khamsin Moor and his likely first choice Word Has It. Kim Bailey’s Chazza could well be the biggest danger, the yard are 3-13 in bumpers this year.
