Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett

13/2

Cloudings gelding. Dam (h86), 19f hurdle winner (stayed 25f), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Bow To No One. Stable is in form and had a first-time-out bumper winner at Newcastle recently.

Form:

Plane Sailing

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: D Bourke

11/4

€7,000 Jet Away gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Minellafordollars. One to note in the betting on debut.

Form:

Solal Nonantais

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jordan Nailor| T: T Bulgin

13/2

£20,000 buy in January. Choeur Du Nord gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including French 19f hurdle winner Sparsiflore. Dam 1½m/12.5f winner on Flat in France. His trainer has had 2 first-time-out bumper winners this season, including here. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Form:

Sparky Tom²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Paul Robson

50/1

40/1, well-held fifth on C&D debut last month. Will need to leave that well behind.

Form: 5

Japetus³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards

7/4

Confirmed promise of his runner-up effort at Kelso when going one place at Newcastle (good to soft) last month. Another bold show looks assured.

Form: 21

Lipstick Traces

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: Justin Landy

22/1

€5,000 Califet mare. Another newcomer for whom the market should help guide to expectations.

Form:

Miss Mac^p1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: Ewan Whillans

12/1

Brian Hughes booked but this mare achieved only modest form in 2 outings at Ayr this year. First-time cheekpieces will need to spark some improvement.

Form: 75

Lutte Allen

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson

13/2

Palace Prince filly. Half-sister to 17f chase winner in France Kosmos Allen. The stable is 0-20 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.

Forecasts

Japetus (7/4), Plane Sailing (11/4), Solal Nonantais (13/2), Knockeranna Rose (13/2), Lutte Allen (13/2), Miss Mac (12/1), Lipstick Traces (22/1), Sparky Tom (50/1)

JAPETUS gets the nod to defy a penalty. A market move for Knockeranna Rose would be interesting given Susan Corbett had a well-backed bumper winner at Newcastle recently. Toby Bulgin has also tasted bumper success this season so Solal Nonantais would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for him.
