4/1

Thrice raced in bumpers for Alain Couetil, most recently finished a ½-length second at Le Lion d'Angers 9 months ago. Cost €30,000 for new connections and is interesting for yard having good season with their bumper runners.

40/1

Brother to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Western Warhorse. Dam, poor form in bumpers. Only seventh at Market Rasen first time out and others make more appeal.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham

12/1

Telescope mare. Half-sister to 11f-13f winner Scappato. Stable has a reasonable record in this sphere, so she's no forlorn hope.

150/1

Half-brother to numerous winners but very little encouragement to be gleaned from his debut at Huntingdon.

Forecasts

Park Annonciade (7/4), Intimate (4/1), Mr Bramley (7/1), God's Own Getaway (9/1), Endlesspossibility (10/1), Telepathique (12/1), Midnight Phantom (14/1), Topcliffe Boy (16/1), Rumoursareflying (22/1), Navigate West (25/1), Paddy O'Mahler (28/1), Long Symphony (40/1), West Warhorse (40/1), It's Dan (66/1), Geordie Night (150/1)

PARK ANNONCIADE represents a stable with a good record in British bumpers and looks worth chancing on debut in a race where those with experience don't set the bar very high. French-import Intimate has the best form and is feared on debut for Venetia Williams and Telepathique will merit respect if the market speaks in her favour.
