Melekhov (5/2), Urca De Lima (5/2), Night Manager (11/4), Bluefortytwo (7/2), Penny Blak (8/1), Sullivan (14/1), Lough Legend (20/1), Blaydon (25/1), Getaway Gerry (50/1), Madinat (100/1)

An interesting looking bumper without an obvious standout selection. For many Melekhov will fit the profile of a likely market leader, but he's young and inexperienced and looked far from the finished article when scoring with more than the winning margin up his sleeve at Fakenham. BLUEFORTYTWO represents new connections (cost £55,000), and market confidence would speak volumes with regards his winning chances, but others to consider in an open contest include the mare Urca De Lima and the eye-catching Daryl Jacob ridden newcomer Night Manager.
