25/1

By Fracas out of an Anshan mare. Stable not noted for its bumper winners and best watched unless the market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Begbie²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

15/8

A €25,000 three-year old purchase by Scorpion who is a brother to 2m hurdle winner Copy That. Third of 14 on his debut at Plumpton and can build on that for a stable which does so well in this sphere.

Form: 3

Bellamy's Grey²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Jake Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Gray

66/1

Well beaten in three point-to-points, he makes his debut under rules in a bumper. Looks likely to be one of the outsiders.

Golden Whisky⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

12/1

Bought for £34,000 as a three-year-old, this Flemensfirth gelding is a brother to useful hurdler, Topofthegame. Probably needed the run when fifth of 10 on debut in a Carlisle bumper and can do better this time.

Form: 5

Gosheven

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White

7/1

By Presenting out of a Zaffaran mare, he is a half-brother to a couple of winning chasers, His future probably lies over fences, but he hails from a leading yard and would be of interest on debut if there was money for him.

Form:

Lechlade Magician

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: A J Honeyball

13/2

Getaway gelding out of a Supreme Leader mare, he cost £16,000. Stable effective in bumpers so he is one to note if the money comes for him.

Form:

Lemonade Drinker

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr James King⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hawker

20/1

Fair Mix gelding out of a Petrizzo mare who did very well in point-to-points. Worth a second look on debut, but unlikely to be as sharp as others at this stage.

Form:

Ringa Ding Ding^t1⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| BF

4/1

Shirocco gelding who is a half-brother to a bumper winner out of an unbeaten sister to high-class chaser Marlborough. Joint favourite when fourth of nine on debut at Taunton, not beaten that far, and has to be of interest with improvement likely.

Form: 4

Rowley Park²⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Blackford

20/1

Golan gelding who cost €26,000. Second of four on only previous start over C&D in April, but was beaten 28L and needs to step up on that effort.

Form: 2-

Burn Valley

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: C L Tizzard

6/1

Sister to a winning hurdler who represents a leading stable. One to keep a close eye on as she makes her debut.

Form:

Chloe's Court

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: James Best| T: R Walford

25/1

Court Cave filly out of a Montelimar mare. Stable enjoying a good spell and she is worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form:

Kentford Mallard

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Kevin Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins

25/1

Sulamani gelding from a family the stable knows well. Will probably need this debut outing, but is worth a second look.

Forecasts

Begbie (15/8), Ringa Ding Ding (4/1), Burn Valley (6/1), Lechlade Magician (13/2), Gosheven (7/1), Golden Whisky (12/1), Rowley Park (20/1), Lemonade Drinker (20/1), Chloe's Court (25/1), Kentford Mallard (25/1), Bang On (25/1), Bellamy's Grey (66/1)

Several unknown quantities make this a race to be wary of from a betting perspective, but the percentage call is RINGA DING DING. who showed enough on debut to suggest he can pick up a race of this nature. Begbie and Golden Whisky can step up on their debut efforts, while Lechlade Magician may be the best of the newcomers.
