Half-brother to numerous winners, including Caline Grace and Told Grace, but beaten a long way on debut in a Newcastle bumper.

€5,500 3-y-o, closely related to fair hurdler In A Pinch. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

Shirocco gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Emperor's Choice. Yard has saddled 3 bumper winners in recent weeks and he's one to monitor closely in the betting.

Kalanisi gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser The Kings Baby and bumper winner Steel Express, stays 3m. Didn't pull up any trees in 3 starts between the flags.

Timeform
€35,000 3-y-o. Half-brother to fair hurdler Le Braye. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, half-sister to (French 15-2¼m hurdle winner) Salsita. Appealing on paper and market should point the way.

Limited appeal on paper and best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. Sports a tongue strap.

Has shown ability in a trio of bumpers, albeit without looking progressive. First-time cheekpieces will need to help eke out improvement if he's to be a genuine contender for win purposes.

Just modest form in bumpers at Fontwell and most recently over this C&D. Others preferred.

Didn't show enough on Ayr debut to suggest that she has anything more than an each-way squeak in this contest.

Failed to measure up to market expectations on debut, but step forward when runner-up at Wetherby (2m) next time. That is comfortably the best form on offer and she's the one to beat.

Forecasts

Largy Gift (6/4), Sauce Of Life (4/1), Moonlight Beam (11/2), Misty Mani (11/2), Warriors Story (15/2), Pitempton Power (16/1), That Ships Sailed (25/1), Flighty Bride (28/1), Minuit Ciel (28/1), Centenier (66/1), Keep Coming (100/1)

Verdict

Newcomers LARGY GIFT and Sauce of Life are both appealing on paper and it will look significant if there's confidence behind either in the betting. Preference is for the former, who hails from a yard which has hit the target with 3 of its last 5 runners in bumpers, two of which were making their Rules debut and one of which was over this C&D. Misty Mani is the clear pick of those with experience.

  1. LARGY GIFT (IRE)
  2. SAUCE OF LIFE (IRE)
  3. MISTY MANI
