Boland's Mill²⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr S Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gallagher

50/1

0-10 in point-to-points. Full-brother to a bumper winner, but doesn't look to have much else going for him on what we have seen.

Form: 6P24/P6-

Fransham¹⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss Gina Andrews⁽³⁾| T: Mrs P Sly

10/1

14-1 but ran well for a long way on debut at Southwell (good), before an eventual 22L defeat. Can build on that this time.

Form: 7

Gold Fields³⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁷⁾| T: Laura Morgan

25/1

25-1 and beaten 71L on debut in a Cheltenham Listed bumper in January. Can only watch.

Form: 0-

Havana Hermano³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁵⁾| T: S Edmunds

4/1

Placed in an Irish point-to-point and ran well for a long way on rules debut in a Market Rasen bumper, before weakening quickly. More needed, but a likely contender in this line-up.

Form: 3P7

Phoenix River

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Solomon Wood⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Webber

25/1

Out of a poor maiden over jumps, whose best efforts were at around 2m4f, and is full-sister to a 3m1f German hurdle/chase winner. Stable 4% in bumpers over past five seasons. Watch on debut.

Form:

Skandiburg¹⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy

5/6

14-1 and an 8L fourth of 17 on debut in a Warwick bumper in April, when with Dan Skelton. Since changed hands and it would be no surprise to see him go very close on debut for a trainer who has a 43% strike rate in this sphere this season.

Form: 4-

Trincomalee

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost⁽³⁾| T: L Wadham

11/4

Half-brother to a bumper winner and with a nice enough National Hunt pedigree. Stable has a 15% strike rate in this sphere over the past five seasons, so probably capable of making a nice debut.

Form:

Fricka

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Graham Carson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Carson

25/1

£800 (vendor) at three. Second foal. Out of a bumper winner who is granddaughter of German Oaks third Santina. Stable 0-10 in bumpers over five seasons. Market check.

Forecasts

Skandiburg (5/6), Trincomalee (11/4), Havana Hermano (4/1), Fransham (10/1), Gold Fields (25/1), Fricka (25/1), Phoenix River (25/1), Boland's Mill (50/1)

The standout here looks to be SKANDIBURG, who represents a trainer that is doing superbly in this sphere this season and he can have another such winner in this modest contest. Havana Hermano looks capable of picking up some prize money with a bit of improvement. while similar comments apply to Fransham. Trincomalee is the most interesting newcomer.
