Gun Runner Cash^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Houlihan| T: B Lund

25/1

From a successful jumps family and perfect start when landing a Perth bumper for Gordon Elliott in April. Keen when beaten a fair way on return/debut for new yard at Stratford, though, and others make more appeal.

Form: 1-44

Madaa¹⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

6/1

Cheap purchase but did the job well when making a successful debut in a 5-runner Warwick bumper (2m) in May. More needed back from a break under a penalty but he's unexposed and has to enter calculations.

Form: 1

We Gotta Getaway³¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien

11/1

Low-key introduction in a Chepstow bumper last winter and will need to leave that well behind if he's to make an impact.

Form: 0-

American Land¹⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

4/1

Encouraging third of 14 in a Down Royal bumper (16.4f) on debut for Stuart Crawford in May. Open to improvement and very much one to consider starting out for new connections here.

Form: 3

Izayte¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King

9/4

Runner-up on completed start in points and just touched off starting out under Rules in 2m Worcester bumper for Brian Barr in May. That form looks fair (third has won since) and bold show anticipated on debut for new yard.

Form: 2F-2

Mullins Bay

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

15/8

Fetched £165,000 as a 3-y-o and boasts a good jumps pedigree. Top yard has made a bright start to the season and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Stancheski⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: A G Newcombe

100/1

Looked green on his introduction in a C&D bumper last month and probably best watched for now.

Form: 5

Keepitunderyourhat¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: R T Dunne| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes

200/1

Hard to warm to judged on what she showed on debut here in May.

Form: 0

Etoile Brillante²⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn

100/1

Safely held on sole start to date in a Chepstow bumper.

Forecasts

Mullins Bay (15/8), Izayte (9/4), American Land (4/1), Madaa (6/1), We Gotta Getaway (11/1), Gun Runner Cash (25/1), Etoile Brillante (100/1), Stancheski (100/1), Keepitunderyourhat (200/1)

While a few of these have already shown a fair level of ability, MULLINS BAY's credentials are pretty compelling on account of his pedigree, price tag and the top connections that he represents. If the market vibes surrounding this newcomer are positive the hint should be taken. Izayte went down narrowly on his Rules debut at Worcester and he is just about second choice ahead of American Land and Madaa.
