Fair hurdler but thirteen runs since last win in 2018, so others make more appeal on bumper debut.

Forecasts

Supakalanistic (7/4), Sunrise Ruby (3/1), Jersey Wonder (4/1), Timberman (9/2), Night Bear (7/1), Chambard (7/1), Distingo (10/1), Monjeni (10/1), Catfish Row (22/1), Sergeant (40/1), Win My Wings (40/1), Mobham (150/1), Epsom Dreamer (250/1), Ezzrah (300/1)

A tricky contest in which it may pay to side with the race fit and in form SUPAKALANISTIC. Timberman is an interesting runner having shown clear ability in strong events in late 2019, while Sunrise Ruby completes the shortlist.
