Bulmer Bank⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. Wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 6 on nursery debut at York (7f, soft, 7/2) 7 weeks ago, not ideally placed. Makes all-weather debut. Expected to be bang there down in grade.

Form: 5604

Forecasts

Beyond Borders (3/1), Bulmer Bank (10/3), Sergeant Wilko (9/2), Master Of My Fate (15/2), Good Point (17/2), Blue Prince (11/1), Novello Lad (11/1), Callianassa (18/1), Bazball (20/1), Alfa Whiteburd (40/1)

Cases can be made for several but at forecast longer odds it could pay to side with BULMER BANK, who wasn't seen to best effect in a falsely-run race when fourth on nursery debut at York 7 weeks ago and, dropping in grade, he should have more to offer making his all-weather debut. Beyond Borders arrives in top form so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Good Point and Master of My Fate.
