Forward Thinking⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

1/1

Shaped well when fourth of 12 on Warwick debut (soft) in December, finishing strongly once getting the hang of things. Looks a sure-fire improver for a yard with a strong bumper record.

Form: 4

Take Him Tom

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley

80/1

Telescope gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Kayf Legend. A rare bumper runner for his stable. The betting should provide more clues.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

5/2

£180,000 purchase after winning his second start in Irish points in October. Much respected for a stable which enjoys plenty of bumper success.

11/1

FORWARD THINKING was an eyecatcher on his Warwick debut and is worth a chance to confirm that promise. Market strength behind Irish point recruit Un Sens A La Vie would make him a possible threat, while Espresso Milan is another who should build on a promising debut.
