Impressive winner of 17-runner bumper (22/1) at Cork (16f, good to soft) 6 months ago on final run for Denis Murphy. Has more to offer, so well in the mix for her new handler.

5/1

€16,000 3-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced. Runner-up in point and since had a wind op. Stable’s first-timers always to be highly respected. Wears tongue strap.

Deere Mark

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas

3/1

Pether's Moon gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stays 2¾m) College Oak. Appeals on paper, so a respected debutant.

Form:

Henri The Second

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls

9/4

Saddler Maker gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, notably smart chaser Enrilo. Lots to like on paper and in excellent hands too. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

Hillfinch³¹

8/1

Made a winning start in 8-runner bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 4/1) 31 days ago. Seems sure to build on that, so she must enter calculations.

Form: 1

Nivlac

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling

12/1

£20,000 3-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Casey Jones. Yard going well, so newcomer needs a market check.

Form:

Pepper Pot Boy

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Katie Powell⁽⁷⁾| T: Sheila Lewis

33/1

£10,000 3-y-o, Laverock gelding. Dam, fair bumper/2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Maxanisi. Bred to be no back number, but market can prove a good indicator.

Form:

Stanley Pincombe²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: C Gordon

14/1

Twice-raced maiden and last of 4 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good to soft, 16/5) 26 days ago. More needed if he's to trouble the principals.

Form: 3-4

Pageant Material¹⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams

14/1

€36,000 3-y-o, £20,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Emperor's Choice. Runner-up in a point, so newcomer needs considering.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Henri The Second (9/4), Deere Mark (3/1), Moot Court (5/1), Hillfinch (8/1), Letthetruthbeknown (11/1), Nivlac (12/1), Pageant Material (14/1), Stanley Pincombe (14/1), Pepper Pot Boy (33/1), Gala Des Lys (125/1)

An interesting bumper in which Paul Nicholls' unraced half-brother to the stable's smart Enrilo HENRI THE SECOND gets the vote. There are others who catch the eye though, with fellow newcomer and point runner-up Moot Court highly respected for Fergal O'Brien and taking Cork bumper scorer Letthetruthbeknown also figuring high on the shortlist too.
