American Gerry²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| BF

7/4

Promise in points and similar story in this sphere, runner-up both starts, including on yard debut at Taunton (16.5f) in April. That looks good form and shortlisted on return.

Form: P422-

Charlie My Boy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J R Jenkins

125/1

Leading Light gelding. Dam (h75), maiden hurdler (stayed 19f), half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Meetmeatthemoon. Likely best watched making racecourse bow.

Form:

Clean Getaway¹⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

13/2

Getaway gelding who showed ability without being seen to best effect when fifth in 9-runner Southwell bumper (15.8f) in May, noted finishing with running left. Capable of better.

Form: 5

Just Loose Change

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Nicky Martin

10/1

Yorgunnabelucky gelding. Dam (h77), maiden hurdler, sister to very smart hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 3m) Any Given Day.

Form:

Maclaine

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood

10/1

€70,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel gelding. Dam, lightly raced over hurdles, sister to useful but irresolute hurdler/chaser (stays 23f) Wait For Me. Yard 1-4 in bumpers this term and betting should guide.

Form:

Rambo T¹⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

6/1

£50,000 4-y-o Ocovango gelding. In frame both starts in Irish points in May, beaten neck on second occasion and he's of definite interest on Rules/bumper debut for good yard.

Form: 4-2

Sporting Ace³⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: N B King

9/2

Brother to bumper winner Eilise's A Lady (scored on debut). Runner-up sole start in Irish points in November behind promising Cheveley Park recruit and fetched a cool £90,000 himself. Interesting.

Form: 2-

Super Duper Sam

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland

28/1

£8,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Dam (c116/h112), 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to temperamental but fairly useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Greywell Boy.

Form:

Surtitle³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

12/1

€62,000 purchase who showed ability whilst looking in need of experience when third in a Bangor bumper in September. In good hands and feasible to think he can build on that effort now.

Form: 3

Parisienne Gold^t¹⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: James Best| T: R Hobson

50/1

Network filly who offered something to work on whilst looking like a staying type when third in a Bangor bumper in May, making the frame final 1f. Should have more to offer.

Form: 3

Non-Runners

Bamford Edge

Forecasts

American Gerry (7/4), Sporting Ace (9/2), Rambo T (6/1), Clean Getaway (13/2), Maclaine (10/1), Just Loose Change (10/1), Surtitle (12/1), Bamford Edge (12/1), Super Duper Sam (28/1), Parisienne Gold (50/1), Charlie My Boy (125/1)

AMERICAN GERRY shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up in a pair of bumpers during the spring, latterly behind subsequent hurdles winner Kandoo Kid at Taunton in April. He gets the nod to come out on top on return with further progress expected. Rambo T, a point recruit representing Olly Murphy, is feared, along with Clean Getaway and Surtitle.
