Left debut behind when third in bumper at Wincanton, albeit very much having the run of the race. Remains to be seen if he can repeat that.

Forecasts

Gallopade (15/8), Pocket Too (4/1), Horizon Dove (5/1), Bertie Blue (11/2), Presenting Nelly (6/1), Vengeance (11/1), Exmoor Forest (22/1), Lord Bill (66/1), Prince Mtm (100/1), Brucie Bonus (125/1)

Verdict

GALLOPADE showed plenty of ability when easing clear under this rider at Fakenham on debut in November and is taken to defy a penalty. Horizon Dove hails from a yard that has a good record in bumpers so must be respected, while the other penalised-winner Presenting Nelly will find this easier than the listed event she contested at Huntingdon.
