4/1
Improved from NH debut effort when taking 5-runner bumper over C&D (firm, 9/4) in May. Has to concede weight all round here but warrants respect nonetheless.

Offered something to work on when third of 5 in bumper at Catterick (15.7f, good to firm) on NH debut 10 months ago. This looks a stronger contest but he is entitled to improve.

Cloudings gelding. Dam, 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 23f) Conrad Hastings. Market check advised on NH debut.

3/1
Mondialiste gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chase winner Casa No Mento and fair hurdler Red Reminder. Yard capable of producing bumper winners so warrants respect on debut.

125/1
£1,500 4-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Dam, point winner, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Shantaluze. Well beaten in sole point start and makes limited appeal on bumper debut.

Made the frame in both bumper outings, latest when third of 7 at Worcester (16f, good) on yard debut 30 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Likely contender.

8/1
Ran with promise when fourth of 9 in bumper (15/2) at Perth (16.2f, good to firm) on NH debut 45 days ago. Entitled to improve on that and must enter calculations. Tongue strap on first time.

No real impact in C&D bumper here in March and is likely to need more time.

Forecasts

Siouxfonic (15/8), Ponteland (3/1), Dartmouth Castle (4/1), Church Lane Lad (13/2), Valenciaga (8/1), Card Lady (9/1), Dermo's Boy (33/1), Salvador King (125/1), Amber Dhaling (500/1)

Verdict

SIOUXFONIC may have kicked for home too soon when third at Worcester last month and can make amends in the finale. Valenciaga and Dartmouth Castle look the likeliest dangers.

  1. Siouxfonic15/8
  2. Valenciaga8/1
  3. Dartmouth Castle4/1
