9/2

Form: 13

Tennessee Tango⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

7/5

Wincanton debut bumper winner but only eighth of 14 in listed bumper at Ascot 69 days ago. Well worth another chance.

Form: 18

Berkenshtaaap⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| BF

9/2

Purchased for £45,000 after winning sole start in Irish points and showed some promise when fifth of 9 in bumper (9/4) at Southwell (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 86 days ago. Should improve.

Form: 15

Olivia's Secret

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Kimber| T: B Lund

66/1

Kessaar gelding. Half-brother to 7f/1m winner Majestic Tejaan. Dam unraced. Market can guide on his first run.

Form:

Purple Owl¹²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe

12/1

£60,000 4-y-o. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including fairly useful 7f-1½m winner Loingseoir. Dam fair 2m hurdle winner. Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Oct 2024) so a respected newcomer.

Form: 4-P1

Sinchi Roca⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: Anthony Charlton

7/2

£70,000 4-y-o. Son of Getaway. Dam, fairly useful 23f hurdle winner, half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Brave Inca. Winning pointer (Dec 1) so he's an interesting debutant.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Tennessee Tango (7/5), Sinchi Roca (7/2), Berkenshtaaap (9/2), Blue Carpet (9/2), Purple Owl (12/1), Olivia's Secret (66/1)

The market should reveal plenty but SINCHI ROCA catches the eye on paper and brings winning point form to the table so edges the vote from penalised Carlisle bumper scorer Blue Carpet. Purple Owl is another debutant with the potential to take a hand, while Tennessee Tango can't be discounted if getting back on track.
