Court In A Storm

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

10/1

£25,000 3-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Closely related to modest chaser Counteract, stays 3m. Interesting newcomer for a stable which gets plenty of bumper winners.

Form:

Dante's Inferno¹⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Olive Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: G Nicholls

6/1

Out of a winning hurdler and showed a fair level of ability when reaching the frame at Ludlow and Hereford in the autumn.

Form: 24

Followcato⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

9/4

£72,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in February. Stable a very healthy 12-46 in bumpers this season. Market confidence behind this one would look significant.

Form: 2

Jackalani¹³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey

22/1

8/1, offered something to work on when fourth of 14 in an AW bumper at Lingfield in December. Switches to turf after 136 days off.

Form: 4

Jubilant²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: James Owen

16/5

£40,000 Irish point recruit who made a promising start under Rules when third of 6 at Market Rasen 25 days ago. May do better.

Form: 23

Kingston Brave

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Lily Pinchin| T: J R Jenkins

100/1

Kingston Hill gelding. Dam placed on Flat. Stable 0-17 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.

Form:

Strong As Steel²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Cannon| T: H J Evans

8/1

Left her debut form for Dr Richard Newland behind when third of 6 at Hereford 29 days ago, looking unlucky not to finish a little closer having had to switch. Should be thereabouts.

Form: 63

Myfavouritesister⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Henry Brooke| T: P Neville

66/1

20/1, hinted at ability when remote fifth of 12 in bumper at Newcastle (17f, heavy) on debut 51 days ago.

Form: 5

Notorious Pink⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

33/1

From a leading yard but didn't shape with any obvious promise on her Wincanton debut 12 weeks ago.

Form: 0

Infantryman⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: P G Murphy

22/1

Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, showed a bit when sixth of 13 in bumper at Lingfield (2m, AW) last time but not enough to suggest he's a likely winner here.

Form: 76

Jacks Wish

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

15/2

Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam, fair 23f-25f hurdle/chase winner, sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Presentingprincess. One to note on debut for a yard which gets plenty of bumper winners.

Form:

Lawsky³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber

125/1

66/1, seventeenth of 20 in bumper at Newbury (2m, good to soft) on debut 33 days ago, running green.

Form: 0

Rowdy³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

20/1

Placed in second of 2 points. 9/1, sixth of 12 in bumper at Taunton (16.5f, soft) on Rules debut 30 days ago.

Forecasts

Followcato (9/4), Jubilant (16/5), Dante's Inferno (6/1), Jacks Wish (15/2), Strong As Steel (8/1), Court In A Storm (10/1), Little Dipper (14/1), Rowdy (20/1), Infantryman (22/1), Jackalani (22/1), Notorious Pink (33/1), Myfavouritesister (66/1), Kingston Brave (100/1), Lawsky (125/1)

Ben Pauling has done well in bumpers this season so his point recruit FOLLOWCATO gets the nod to make a successful start under Rules, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Strong As Steel and Jubilant may prove best of those with previous bumper experience, while Court In A Storm and Jacks Wish are newcomers to keep an eye on.
