In good form of late, including runner-up twice in bumpers but he's exposed after 6 starts in bumpers and suspicion he'll prove vulnerable to at least one of these.

Forecasts

Skerry Hill (4/7), Chichester Park (5/2), Panjandrum (5/2), Hopeful Hero (10/1), Ballyedward (10/1)

Gordon Elliott has won this concluding bumper 7 times since 2015 so this could develop into a straight fight between his point recruits SKERRY HILL and Panjandrum. The former is preferred if only because his jockey Harry Swan tends to be the yard's main rider in these events, including winning the last 2 runnings of this.
