Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry

7/2

9/2, made a winning start in 10-runner bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft) on NH debut 81 days ago by short head from Supreme Malinas. Looked green there so very much one to consider with better to come.

Form: 1

Legal Weapon³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| D

10/1

2/1, won 12-runner bumper at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 38 days ago. Needs to build on it if he's to contend here though.

Form: 1

Sinnatra⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| D

11/4

Looked a good prospect when bagging 13-runner bumper (5/4) at Chepstow (16f, good) on debut 58 days ago with plenty in hand. Very much one to consider for leading yard.

Form: 1

A Boy The Kid

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes

8/1

Dam, lightly raced in bumpers, is a half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (2m-2½m winner) Johnnywho. Irish challenger can't be ruled out, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Form:

Away For The Night⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

80/1

22/1, encouraging third of 8 in bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 45 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Form: 3

Kocktail Bleu⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon

28/1

€48,000 3-y-o, €54,000 4-y-o, Magneticjim gelding. Half-brother to French chaser Evidence Bleue. Placed in Irish points so he's a respected newcomer.

Form: F5-3F

Sangpoursangamoi⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Dylan Johnston| T: S Thomas

66/1

11/4, shaped well when fourth of 8 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) on debut 53 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 4

The Long Walk⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| BF

14/1

Has gone with promise when placed in a pair of bumpers, staying on well when second of 7 at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy, 13/8) on latter occasion. Capable of better still.

Form: 32

Supreme Malinas⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

7/2

Irish point winner who landed 8-runner listed bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy, 5/2) 42 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Roses All The Way. Well on top at the finish there so she's a player.

Form: F1-21

Gnomon¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: J J Burke| T: R M Beckett| BF

6/1

Represents top Flat stable and created an excellent impression when making a successful start in Exeter bumper in October. Failed to get home when sixth in listed bumper at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft) 18 days ago and remains with potential.

Form: 16

Forecasts

Sinnatra (11/4), Idaho Sun (7/2), Supreme Malinas (7/2), One Knight (5/1), El Cairos (11/2), Gnomon (6/1), A Boy The Kid (8/1), Legal Weapon (10/1), The Long Walk (14/1), Kocktail Bleu (28/1), Sangpoursangamoi (66/1), Away For The Night (80/1)

Lots of potential on show here, not least from Paul Nicholls' SINNATRA who created a good impression when making a winning debut at Chepstow and can hit the right note again to go 2-2. Dan Skelton's mare Supreme Malinas has the form to play a big part, while Gnomon, Idaho Sun and El Cairos all need factoring into this useful bumper too.
