PEMBROKE is related to 5 winners and represents a top stable so, although he's likely to peak over jumps/longer trips, he may well have enough ability to make a successful start in an interesting bumper. Bellica also makes plenty of appeal on paper, while Spring Meadow is the clear pick of those with Rules experience.
