Showed moderate ability in two point-to-points before finishing a well beaten 10th of 12 on a Ffos Las bumper last month. Hard to envisage him heavily involved.
Ran well on debut at Newton Abbot when third behind two useful individuals. Form of that gives him a chance but deserted by champion jockey in favour of a debutant.
€16,000 gelding by Beat Hollow is a brother a hurdle winner over 2m and 2m1f and half-brother to two flat winners. Trainer yet to win a bumper this season so watched unless market speaks strongly of him.
Behind classy Behind The Clouds on debut when second and filled same spot at Worcester last month in a three runner contest. May prove best of those with bumper experience.
Awarded a maiden point-to-point last time after coming to grief previous twice. Rules debut here for trainer without bumper winner in last five years.
Motivator newcomer is a brother to two French winners and half-brother to six winners including hurdler Blaise Hollow. Yard has occasional bumper winner so market best guide to expectations.
Presenting newcomer cost £34,000 last December. Dam was a smart Listed hurdle winner from the family of several classy jumpers. Booking of champion jockey highly notable on debut so must be respected.
Shirocco newcomer is a half-brother to a bumper winner out of an unbeaten sister to high-class chaser Marlborough. Looks a very interesting newcomer for top trainer.
American Post newcomer out of a 1m2f winner in France. Trainer's first ever runner over jumps so hard to fancy.
Forecasts
Represented (5/2), Ringa Ding Ding (5/2), Hattaab (7/2), Gwalia (9/1), Court Out (9/1), Personal Coach (14/1), Zaydanides (20/1), Jabbea (25/1), Chimes Of Dylan (50/1)
Not too many of these have raced before so the market will be pivotal with so many newcomers but it may be worth chancing REPRESENTED who has a very attractive pedigree and surely must be fancied given Richard Johnson's booking. Also expected to go well first time is Paul Nicholls' Ringa Ding DingHattaab looks the best bet after twice finishing second to promising sorts.
