Modest bumper winner who showed some promise sent hurdling when second in 6-runner affair at Warwick (2m) last month. Matched that form when fifth in a deeper novice at Stratford 12 days ago.

5/6
Half-brother to Snow Leopardess and showed plenty of ability a couple of seasons back, winner of a bumper in March 2021. Sent off favourite on return from 18 months off at Stratford and third-place finish was a reasonable start to hurdles career. Tongue tie on and there's more to come.

Minor promise in a couple of bumpers but never a factor after a sloppy round of jumping on hurdles bow.

12/1
Point winner who found less than looked likely when fourth in conditionals/amateurs bumper at Aintree in May. First run for yard after leaving Alan Hill, with tongue tie removed ahead of this hurdles debut for powerful yard.

Fair form when runner-up both starts in bumpers and occupied same spot on hurdles debut in September. Upped in trip and shaped like a stayer art Aintree, so this return to 2m is a concern.

Vendangeur gelding. Half-brother to useful chaser Nomoreblackjack. Dam, unraced, from family of top-class staying chaser First Lieutenant. Every chance when fell 2 out sole start in Irish points but he looks a work-in-progress under Rules.

€9,000 3-y-o, £45,000 4-y-o, Presenting gelding. Brother to a point winner. Runner-up sole start in Irish points in November but failed to meet expectations in a Catterick bumper in March. Hood fitted switched to hurdles.

Merely hinted at ability so far and looks a handicap project.

Low-key introduction in a Chepstow bumper last winter but much more like it when fourth at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago. Now goes hurdling for bang in-form yard.

Well-related and showed plenty of ability to finish placed in a couple of bumpers last winter. Bred to do better over obstacles so he's one to consider.

Forecasts

Parramount (5/6), The Kniphand (7/2), What A Steal (5/1), Decorated (8/1), Duke Of Moravia (11/1), Santos Blue (12/1), We Gotta Getaway (33/1), Upagainstit (40/1), Blackwell Bay (66/1), Imperial Alex (80/1), Bean Norty (80/1), Weaver's Answer (150/1), Robber's Bridge (200/1), Tonto Foley (250/1), Key Factor (250/1), Hidden Belle (300/1)

Verdict

PARRAMOUNT has been given sufficient time to get over his first race in 18 months when a promising third on hurdles bow at Stratford and he looks set to build on that run given his pedigree and bumper form. Santos Blue won a point and has transferred to the powerful Skelton team so he's feared, along with What A Steal.
