Fort Lauderdale⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

28/1

Inexpensive purchase who was held back by inexperience when twelfth of 15 in bumper at Ayr (16f, good) 40 days ago, wandering badly from 2f out. This should reveal more but he's likely best watched.

Frankie Lamb

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

11/2

Proconsul gelding. Half-brother to bumper winners Miss Lamb and Tom Lamb. Dam placed in bumpers. One of the more appealing newcomers in this field.

Get A Superstar⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| BF

5/4

Getaway gelding who showed ability on bumper debut at Tipperary back in the spring and improved on that form having switched yards when second in 10-runner Carlisle bumper (17f) in October. Repeat here gives him good claims of going one place better.

Form: PUF-42

Helsgetaway⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

10/1

€43,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Appeals on paper but ultimately undone by greenness late on when fifth in 15-runner Ayr bumper on debut 6 weeks ago. That experience won't have been wasted on him.

Form: 5

Ilitch³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford

4/1

Has finished down the field in a couple of bumpers 7 months apart so will need to take a significant step forward having his first start on these shores. Booking of Brian Hughes does catch the eye, however.

Form: 0-4

Teddy Mac²⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: I A Duncan

125/1

Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Well held last of 5 on debut in an Ayr bumper 9 months ago. Can only be watched.

Form: 5-

Tees Comp's Clive

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas

17/2

Black Sam Bellamy half-brother to 5 winners, including useful hurdler Teescomponents Lad and fairly useful hurdler Teescomponentsyess. Dam bumper winner. Makes paper appeal. One to keep a close eye on in the betting.

Form:

Roebuck Bay³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Ruth Jefferson

15/2

Beat Hollow filly who showed ability amidst greenness when midfield in 13-runner Kelso bumper (16.2f) on debut 33 days ago. Likely to be suited by further in due course but entitled to come on for that initial experience.

Forecasts

Get A Superstar (5/4), Ilitch (4/1), Frankie Lamb (11/2), Roebuck Bay (15/2), Tigga Time (15/2), Tees Comp's Clive (17/2), Helsgetaway (10/1), Fort Lauderdale (28/1), Posh Et Noir (33/1), Blazing Soldier (66/1), Teddy Mac (125/1)

GET A SUPERSTAR built on his bumper debut back in the spring when runner-up on debut for his new yard at Carlisle in October and a repeat here may be enough to see him go one place better. Tigga Time, successful on his only start in points, is another to consider, with Roebuck Bay and Frankie Lamb completing the shortlist.
