Selected odds by:
Nice debut whern coming late to grab 50-1 seocnd of 13 at Warwick in December. Obvious claims.
Not totally disgraced in mid-division when 100-1 at Ludlow on December. Plenty of improvement needed.
Won final of four starts in point-to-points. Interesting recruit to bumpers and could go well.
Dam won a bumper and had placed form over hurdles. Yard can ready a newcomer and market support should be noted.
Fails to catch the eye on breeding. Would be a surprise winner on debut.
Finished second in a point-to-point in November. Top jockey booked and has to go on the shortlist.
Winner of a point-to-point in December. Top trainer has great record in this race and looks set to go close.
Doesn't look an obvious contender on breeding. Best watched on racecourse debut.
Closely related to a winner on the Flat. Receives weight from the older horses and is another one to consider.
Cheap buy. Half-brother to 2m hurdle winner. Looks up against it on debut.
Cost €23,000 but trainer has zero from 28 record in bumpers in recent seasons.
Trainer has done well with this family, Might need the experience on racecourse debut.
Kept on well to finish close fourth when 10-1 for a bumper at Towcester in November. Each-way prospects if builing on that promisinng run.
Stayed on into modest third when 5-1 for a bumper at Exeter on New Year's Day. Should find a race in due course and no surprise if it's this one.
Trainer in good form and is capable of winning with a newcomer. Market support should be noted.
Well beaten on debut at Towcester. Better effort next time when 33-1 fourth at Cheltenham. Could go well again.

An interesting and competitive bumper to end the Kempton card. Nicky Henderson won both divisions of this race in 2015 and saddled a winner and a third in the two divisions 12 months ago. He can be on the mark again with point-to-point winner WHATSWRONGWITHYOU. Book Of Gold looks best of those with previous bumper experience and is taken to fill the runner-up position. The Philip Hobbs-trained pair Motueka and Springtown Lake are also respected.
