Malinas gelding. Dam maiden pointer. Represents yard who enjoy plenty of success in this sphere and market confidence behind him would need to be viewed positively.

5/6

Showed plenty of ability when fifth in Cheltenham listed bumper on debut on New Year's Day and matched that level when third at Kempton (2m) in March. Experience should count for a good deal here. Respected.

33/1

Black Sam Bellamy colt who was sent off at 20/1 and ultimately shaped as if in need of the experience when last of 9 in a Southwell bumper on debut in April. Should know more now.

16/1

Black Sam Bellamy colt. Easy to back and raced freely when 16 lengths sixth of 9 on debut in a Southwell bumper (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. This should reveal more.

Forecasts

Diamond Egg (5/6), Commanding View (5/2), Benefact (11/4), Dominic's Fault (7/2), Maybe Dark (9/2), Zuul (16/1), Ha'an (33/1), Solid Fuel (100/1)

A brother to a useful bumper winner, BENEFACT makes obvious appeal representing a top yard and could be the way to go on debut. Diamond Egg, who sets the standard on his exploits in bumpers, can also play a part, with another very appealing newcomer, Dominic's Fault, completing the shortlist.
