Big Jim Dwyer⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish| BF

4/1

Fair form when reaching the frame on all 3 starts (trained by Joseph O'Brien first 2), his latest third coming over C&D 8 days ago. Sets the standard.

Form: 433

Getalead²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Ella Pickard

11/4

Modest form in bumpers last winter, his best run when fifth at Huntingdon in January. Probably vulnerable unless finding some improvement.

Form: 685-

Jinkaman²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant

50/1

Twice-raced maiden, better effort when modest sixth of 8 over C&D 4 weeks ago. Likely to find a few too strong again.

Form: 0-6

Otello Moor

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

16/1

€32,000 Milan gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 33f) Ad Hoc. Not bred to come into his own until tackling longer trips but betting probably the best guide.

Form:

Restandbethankful

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: O Murphy

6/4

€52,000 Califet gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Little Jack. Stable has a very healthy 25% strike-rate in these events. Of obvious interest on debut.

Form:

Rock Rebel

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: J S Goldie

8/1

€20,000 Rock of Gibraltar brother to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser King of The Picts. Brian Hughes up for debut and needs keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form:

West End Woody

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: A C Whillans

22/1

€5,000 Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Noble Emperor. Stable in reasonable form but isn't a regular source of bumper winners.

Form:

Grey Frontieres^t1⁵³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies

20/1

Struck at the third time of asking in points when last seen in March 2019. Tongue tied for Rules debut. Yard among the winners.

Form: 541/

Forecasts

Restandbethankful (6/4), Getalead (11/4), Big Jim Dwyer (4/1), Rock Rebel (8/1), Otello Moor (16/1), Grey Frontieres (20/1), West End Woody (22/1), Jinkaman (50/1)

Olly Murphy has an excellent record in bumpers so RESTANDBETHANKFUL gets the nod to make a successful debut as form pick Big Jim Dwyer doesn't set the bar that high. Rock Rebel has quite an interesting pedigree for a race like this and would also enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's fancied.
