Half-brother to 3 winners and sent off 11/4 for a good bumper at Newbury on debut, albeit finishing only fifth. Better form when runner-up at Warwick in December despite still looking green.

€6,000 Doyen gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Penneys Hun and bumper winner/modest hurdler Not The Chablis. Big price but offered something to work on starting out at Warwick last month.

Forecasts

Thunder Rock (5/2), Bowtogreatness (10/3), Pressure Sensitive (4/1), Earth Star (9/2), The Plimsoll Line (5/1), Peaked Too Soon (5/1), Exmoor Express (11/2), No Word Of A Lie (8/1), Doyens De Ante (66/1), Mr Sociable (150/1)

Verdict

There's depth to this bumper, with EARTH STAR just about the most appealing contender. He ultimately flattened out as though in need of the run at Wincanton on Boxing Day but it was a pleasing start and the fourth that day has won one of these subsequently. Pressure Sensitive will give it a good shot under a penalty, with Exmoor Express also considered.

  1. EARTH STAR (IRE)
  2. PRESSURE SENSITIVE (IRE)
  3. EXMOOR EXPRESS (IRE)
