Just Paddy's Band²⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond

18/1

16/1, made a winning debut in Kelso bumper in March, with the reopposing Fearless Action in third. The form is nothing special so he'll likely need to improve to seriously trouble A Different Kind.

A Different Kind¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| CD

8/11

Runner-up on his sole start in Irish points in April and looked a good recruit for new yard when readily landing a C&D bumper last month. Looks more than capable of defying a penalty.

Form: 2-1

Braveheart³⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

10/3

Pulled up in sole point in Ireland last December but he's joined a stable which does get bumper winners. Worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form: P-

Fearless Action²⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant

16/1

Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Impact Factor. 9/1, showed ability when 5¾ lengths third of 10 to the reopposing Just Paddy's Band on Kelso debut in March. May do better.

Form: 3-

Cerendipity

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

12/1

£42,000 half-brother to 4 winners, including smart hurdler Bright Forecast and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Another Rebel. Yard not a regular source of bumper winners but he does make paper appeal.

Form:

Speedy Hooves⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Coltherd| T: Sara Ender

150/1

Well held in 2 bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies over the summer.

Form: 69

Guidedbythescience^t¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: G Boanas

15/2

Fair form at best when reaching the frame in 3 bumpers for Barry Brennan. Possible new yard will get more out of her. Should be in the shake-up.

Form: 34-4

Forecasts

A Different Kind (8/11), Braveheart (10/3), Guidedbythescience (15/2), Cerendipity (12/1), Fearless Action (16/1), Just Paddy's Band (18/1), Speedy Hooves (150/1)

A DIFFERENT KIND looked a potentially smart recruit for the Donald McCain stable when scoring easily over C&D last month and is a confident pick to defy a penalty. Gillian Boanas has her team in decent nick so Guidedbythescience, a new inmate for the stable, gets the nod to fill the forecast spot.
