22/1

Half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler Midnight Tour (2m-21f winner) and bumper winner Miss Fleming. Makes some appeal on breeding and one to note in the betting.

Form:

Bethpage

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

16/1

£55,000 purchase after finishing third in an Irish point in january. Another Rules newcomer for whom the betting should be informative.

Form: 3

Mays Hill⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

14/1

Kayf Tara filly who made an encouraging start to her career when third of 9 in an AW bumper at Lingfield just before Christmas. That bare form is nothing to get carried away with but she likely has more to come.

Form: 3

Meadowsuite

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J HendersonWS

7/2

£34,000 Spanish Moon mare. Dam, ran no sort of race sole start in bumpers, sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stays 2½m) Le Patriote. Highly respected on debut for her leading yard, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Has had wind surgery.

Form:

Seeyouinmydreams³⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F NichollsWS

6/4

235,000 gns buy after easily winning her sole start in Irish points last April. Has had wind surgery ahead of bumper debut for top stable. Makes obvious appeal.

Form: 1-

Stuti

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: H Morrison

15/2

Kayf Tara mare. Sister to bumper winner Filanderer, and half-sister to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Canoodle. Quite a belated debut but stable has a good 10-40 bumper strike-rate in the last 5 seasons. Would enter reckoning if betting vibes strong.

Form:

Tara's Light¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

25/1

Sister to fairly useful hurdlers Robin's Dream and Jerrash but more one for the longer term judged on her remote fifth on her Fontwell debut in January. Sent off at 150/1 when lost action and pulled up early at Ascot since.

Form: 5P

Irish Chorus

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

10/1

Jack Hobbs filly. Dam (h137), winner up to 3m, half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stays 3¼m) Beware The Bear. Another debutante from a stable which does well in bumpers. The betting should provide more clues.

Form:

Jackeline⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr Paddy Barlow⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins

25/1

40/1, never involved in a Cheltenham listed bumper on her debut on New Year's Day. Can only watch.

Form: 8

Seeyouinmydreams (6/4), Meadowsuite (7/2), Stuti (15/2), Irish Chorus (10/1), Chatshow Host (14/1), Mays Hill (14/1), Mardy Mono (16/1), Bethpage (22/1), Bel Mare (22/1), Jackeline (25/1), Tara's Light (25/1), Easter Mouse (80/1)

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS hacked up in her sole Irish point last spring and can strike on her Rules debut for the Nicholls team. Nicky Henderson has a good record in this race so it'll be a bit of a surrprise if his newcomer Meadowsuite isn't involved at the finish. Mays Hill is clear pick of those with previous bumper experience, while Stuti is another debutante who makes paper appeal.
