Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris

7/1

€58,000 Flemensfirth gelding. Ready winner of a Newton Abbot on debut last month. Penalty to carry so will need to improve to follow up.

Bold Soldier⁷⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex

5/1

£60,000 buy after finishing runner-up in Irish point in October 2019. It's taken a while for new connections to get him to the track but he still needs keeping an eye on in betting.

Form: 2/

Duke Of Deception²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

16/1

icked up for £48,000 after finishing placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 23). Shaped like a stayer when fifth in a Carlisle bumper a month ago.

Form: P35

Gege Ville

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N G Richards

17/2

€10,000 Protektor gelding. One of 2 newcomers from a stable which does so well in bumpers. Market likely provide more clues.

Form:

Ginger Mail³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bruce Lynn⁽⁵⁾| T: N W Alexander

16/1

Half-brother to yard's useful hurdler/chaser Elvis Mail. 7/2, made a solid start to his career when lengths second of 5 at Musselburgh a month ago. Repeat of that likely to be see him thereabouts.

Form: 2

Golden De Coeur¹²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: C Bowe

9/4

Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, first run since leaving Anthony Black when third of 17 in bumper at Galway (18.3f, good) 22 days ago. This Irish raider is likely to be in the shake-up.

Form: 93

Nights In Venice²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D W Whillans

25/1

Half-brother to a bumper winner. Left March's debut behind when 14 lengths second at Kelso 23 days ago but he'll need to step up on that form to go one better here.

Form: 9-2

Notnowbob

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Jack Holliday⁽⁷⁾| T: W Coltherd

66/1

Notnowcato half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Champagnesuperover and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Meldrum Lad. Some paper appeal so worth a market check.

Form:

River Meadow

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mark Galligan⁽⁷⁾| T: N G Richards

5/2

€55,000 Fame And Glory gelding. Closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Will Sting. Makes obvious paper appeal for yard with 27% strike-rate in bumpers here.

Form:

Top Medici

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: K Scott

150/1

Mr Medici gelding. Dam (h68) maiden hurdler. Best watched on debut unless the betting hints otherwise.

Form:

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan

40/1

16/1, second on heavy-ground Hexham debut in May, although the form is nothing special. Sports a first-time tongue tie on return to action.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Golden De Coeur (9/4), River Meadow (5/2), Bold Soldier (5/1), Knowwhentoholdem (7/1), Gege Ville (17/2), Duke Of Deception (16/1), Ginger Mail (16/1), Nights In Venice (25/1), Whatsgoingon (33/1), Starsinhereyes (40/1), Notnowbob (66/1), Top Medici (150/1)

Nicky Richards has a strong record in bumpers at this venue so the well-bred RIVER MEADOW gets the nod to make a winning debut, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Golden de Couer and Ginger Mail arrive on the back of placed efforts and should play a part again, while it's taken a while to get Bold Soldier to the track after his point second but he needs a betting check.
