Selected odds by:

Elska³¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: R Bandey

66/1

Her four starts in point-to-points have yet to result in a completion with three pulled up efforts to her name, she unseated her rider on the other occasion. Makes her Rules/bumper debut with the trainer having his first bumper runner of the season.

Form: P/PUP-

Emmas Joy²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

7/2

Started at 4-6 when winning her sole Irish point-to-point by 8L in April in soft conditions and looks to have a pedigree that suggests a stamina test will be needed. Comes from a top yard though who are 5-20 in bumpers this season.

Form: 1-

Finnick Glory

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Stock⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley

25/1

Cost £10,000 as a three-year-old and is a half-sister to a bumper winner. Looks to have a decent pedigree and the yard are 2-12 in bumpers this year; worth a market check on debut.

Form:

Flow Away

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

66/1

Half-sister to two winning hurdlers so there is some appeal in the pedigree although enthusiasm is tempered by the yard's record in bumpers over the past five years (1-24). Other make more appeal; one seven debutantes in the race.

Form:

Jumbo Davis²⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: H WhittingtonWS

4/1

Runner-up on her only completed start in point-to-points she was withdrawn on good ground on her bumper debut. Offered something to work on when she did make her first appearance on soft ground; conditions may be too lively.

Form: P25-

Mello Yello^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: M Keighley

28/1

One of two runners in the race for this trainer with the market being left to decide which is the more likely. Hooded for her debut she's the first foal of an unraced dam who is a half-sister to the good staying chaser Cogry.

Form:

Noisy Neighbour²¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Graham Carson⁽⁷⁾| T: L Allan

150/1

66-1 and with a visor on for her debut over C&D she made little appeal on pedigree and showed herself to only have limited ability. Visor now dispensed with but one of the less likely types in this.

Form: 0-

Northern Princess

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Aspell| T: L Wadham

9/1

Trainer has been in good form of late and although they are not prolific in bumpers they do have the odd good one. This newcomer is out of a modest dam but she was a sister to the high-class hurdler Iktitaf; market move should be noted.

Form:

Organdi¹⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽⁵⁾| T: R T Phillips

4/1

Very much bred for stamina and she'll be seen to much better effect when given far stiffer tests. She did though shape well on her debut having been given a lot to do and back from a break should come on for that experience; may find this too sharp.

Form: 2

Potters Angelique⁶¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy

7/1

Didn't achieve that much in two bumper starts for Giles Bravery in 2017 despite finishing 3rd over C&D in the most recent of them (improved slightly from her debut). Now makes her stable debut and not one to enthuse too much about.

Form: 63/

Rose To Fame²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

7/2

Out of a dam (Cinderella Rose) who was 2nd over C&D on her bumper debut; comes from a lovely jumping family. Improved by the race and wouldn't have been suited by the 1m6f trip on her latest start when 2nd to one who ran well at Cheltenham recently.

Form: 0-72

To The Core^h1²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Kieran Burke

100/1

Hood now fitted after she ran far too free on her debut and will need to settle far better to be of any interest here. Yard 0-9 in bumpers last five years.

Form: 8

Non-Runners

Madam Malina

Weight: 10-12| Age: 4

T: W Greatrex J: G Sheehan

Forecasts

Emmas Joy (7/2), Rose To Fame (7/2), Jumbo Davis (4/1), Organdi (4/1), Madam Malina (5/1), Potters Angelique (7/1), Northern Princess (9/1), Finnick Glory (25/1), Mello Yello (28/1), Flow Away (66/1), Elska (66/1), To The Core (100/1), Noisy Neighbour (150/1)

This looks to be quite a decent mares’ bumper with ROSE TO FAME looking likely to take a major hand in this with experience on her side; she’s improved with every run so far and will enjoy this return to 2m. The Skelton team are always to be respected in these events and they run Irish point-to-point winner Emmas Joy who along with Madam Malina look to be the main dangers to the selection. Organdi is another who has shown some good bumper form but this may well prove a little too sharp a test. Northern Princess and the Martin Keighley pair Finnick Glory and Mello Yello are trio of interesting newcomers.
