Gintime⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards

30/100

Plenty of promise when second of 10 in a Carlisle bumper before Christmas, pulling clear of the rest. Likely tough to beat with improvement on the cards.

Form: 2

My My My Delilah¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd

28/1

14/1, ran to only a modest level when fourth of 12 in bumper at Sedgefield (17f, soft, 14/1) on debut in October. Others stronger back from 4 months off.

Form: 4

Royal Hillsborough

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: S R B Crawford

6/1

Conduit mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Perfect Candidate, stayed 31f. Dam unraced. Her trainer has a 20% strike-rate in bumpers here and she'd enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

Form:

Hunters Spring⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Conner McCann⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

6/1

11/10, won 5-runner bumper at Newcastle (17f, good) under Conner McCann on debut in November. Well on top at the finish but it was a weak race and she'll need more under a penalty.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Gintime (30/100), Kenisa Sport (13/8), Royal Hillsborough (6/1), Hunters Spring (6/1), Belle De Vassy (6/1), Oh Janey (13/2), Moira My Love (15/2), My My My Delilah (28/1)

GINTIME shaped well when second on her Carlisle debut and gets the vote to go one better. Belle de Vassy could prove suited by the drop to 2m and is next on the list for an Irish stable which does very well with its British bumper runners.
