Potters Story³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

28/1

Found the soft ground at Chepstow against him last time out after winning on a decent surface on debut and likely to be susceptible again under a penalty and on testing ground.

Form: 1941

Allez Jacques⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Miss E C Lavelle

12/1

Has a very interesting pedigree for a future over obstacles and if he has matured since his bumpers debut he could be a player in this.

Form: 4

Black Anthem⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Michael Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr

20/1

Didn't show much in four point-to-point starts and trainer not renowned for bumper winners (0/24 in recent seasons).

Form: 406535-

Cirano De Sivola^h1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: M Hamill⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex

13/2

Trainer 3/8 in bumpers at the track and fits hood to this one after a promising start to rules career at Wetherby at start of the month.

Form: 1-

Duke Debarry⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson

4/1

Should improve plenty for debut run last month and trainer's runners have a solid strike rate at the track (13/44 | 30% strike rate).

Form: 45

Free Friday¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Lewis Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams

33/1

Pedigree suggests that chasing will eventually be his game but yard can strike first time up in bumpers (12/62 with runners on bumper debut) and worth keeping an eye open for any positive signs in the market.

Form: 0

General Malarkey³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

15/2

Comes from an in-form yard (9/34 in past two weeks) and trainer has had bumper winners at track in recent seasons. Worth keeping an eye on the market for positive moves.

Form: 85

Mister Drifter^p1⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

16/1

Well-beaten on debut at Uttoxeter but the front three in that contest have all franked the form since and there could be improvement to come from this one now they've applied headgear.

Form: 67-

Potters Hedger³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: L P Aspell| T: L Wadham

25/1

Fancied on debut last month but disappointed to finish a well-beaten 8th. Should have improved for the outing, however, and not out of things here.

Form:

Talkischeap⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

9/2

Unbeaten in three point-to-point starts although did bomb out in between those runs in an Irish bumper. Has changed yards since so better can be expected here.

Drewmain Legend²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: A Stronge

66/1

Bumper debut for a yard that isn't renowned for winning in this sphere (0/28 in recent seasons) and hard to fancy.

Form: 04

Ballygown Bay⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

11/4

Trainer has strong record with bumper runners at track (5/17 | 29% strike rate) and can have them ready first time out. Of definite interest here.

Form: 3

Captain Jack⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: David Bass| T: R J Price

100/1

Well down the field in Huntingdon bumper in November and needs to show a lot more here to be involved.

Ballygown Bay (11/4), Duke Debarry (4/1), Talkischeap (9/2), Cirano De Sivola (13/2), General Malarkey (15/2), Allez Jacques (12/1), Mister Drifter (16/1), Black Anthem (20/1), Potters Hedger (25/1), Potters Story (28/1), Free Friday (33/1), Drewmain Legend (66/1), Captain Jack (100/1)

Warren Greatrex has wasted no time in applying headgear to CIRANO DE SIVOLA and it would be no surprise to see this one go one better than on debut last time out. Nicky Henderson has a fine strike rate at the track with his runners and his Duke Debarry commands plenty respect, as does Ballygown Bay from the Hobbs yard as the trainer does like to have bumper winners here. 1.
