Kankin⁷⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

Showed plenty of ability when second in a 9-runner bumper on debut at Market Rasen in December 2020. However, it's hard to know what to expect of him here given his subsequent absence.

Form: 2/

Mullins Bay⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| BF

Fetched £165,000 as a 3-y-o and boasts a good jumps pedigree. Never looked like justifying favouritism on debut at Newton Abbot in October but he couldn't be in better hands and is likely to improve here with that experience to draw upon.

Form: 3

Range⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas

Attracted support ahead of his debut at Chepstow last month and he was a very promising second in that 13-runner bumper, despite signs of greenness. Entitled to come on for that and he's the one to beat.

Form: 2

Up For Appeal²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

Improved on debut form when second in a Tramore bumper for previous connections in August. Given a considerate return for new yard when fourth at Hereford last month and will need to step up on that if he's to emerge on top here.

Form: P-7624

Golden Ace

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

Fetched as a 12,000 gns 3-y-o and she's out of a useful 11f-1¾m winner on the Flat. Yard's strike rate in bumpers in pretty modest but she's well worth a second look in the betting all the same.

Form:

Princess Poppy

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

£16,000 4-y-o. Half-sister to 4 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Zulu Oscar and bumper winner Ishkhara Lady. Yard can ready one first time out and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Forecasts

Range (13/8), Mullins Bay (5/2), Kankin (9/2), Princess Poppy (8/1), Up For Appeal (10/1), Golden Ace (12/1)

Ready preference is for RANGE, who shaped like a ready-made future winner when going down narrowly on debut at Chepstow. Kankin also found just one too good first time out at Market Rasen but that was more than 2 years ago, so his well-being has to be taken on trust. Consequently, Mullins Bay, who should be sharper following his introduction in October, and newcomer Princess Poppy may emerge as the main dangers.
