Rocking Man⁴⁹

6/5

Strong in the betting and looked a useful prospect when scoring on C&D debut (heavy) in November. Can make it 2-2.

7/1

Cost £140,000 after finishing second in an Irish point in November and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

14/1

€48,000 Masked Marvel gelding. Dam, 1m winner in Germany, half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 19f) Local Hero. His stable has had a few bumper winners lately so this one needs a betting check.

Queensbury Boy^t1²⁹⁷

6/5

£130,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in March. The runner-up in that race was Quebecois who made a winning bumper debut for Paul Nicholls at Exeter a couple of weeks ago. Tongue tied. Likely type.

Forecasts

Queensbury Boy (6/5), Rocking Man (6/5), Kap Boy (5/2), Diagon Alley (7/1), Leech (14/1)

A small but interesting line-up for this concluding bumper. ROCKING MAN can see off fellow C&D debut scorer Kap Boy but the rules newcomers all have something to recommend them on paper, notably Queensbury Boy, who had a recent bumper winner behind in second when winning his sole point back in March.
