Selected odds by:
Favourite and winner of a GB point-to-point bumper (when with an Irish stable) before disappointing on his only jumping point-to-point start. Cost £30,000, now makes his Rules debut and worth more than a glance in the market.
Half-brother to three point-to-point winners who makes his Rules debut for a stable who are 0-11 in bumpers (last five years). Given his background others make more appeal.
Hit the frame in both Irish point-to-point starts and was strong in the betting (7-2) for his Carlisle bumper debut. Bred to be a stayer (shaped like one on debut); sticking on well to finish third of seven, form as yet untested.
Made little impact in Irish point-to-points and offered an equally limited display when making his Rules debut at Ayr. Yard not known for their bumper runners and likely to be best watched here.
Two runs for the late Ken Slack before being sold for £3,000 in January to his current yard failing to justify his prominent position in the betting on his debut. Looks as though he's being brought along gently in this sphere.
Finished in midfield on his Newcastle debut having offered something to work on and making some appeal on his pedigree. Will know more this time around but does has to step forward on his first start.
Trainer has had a limited number of runners in this sphere over the last five years (0-4) but this one outran his odds (66-1) on debut (AW bumper). Failed to back that up last time away from the AW though; may have failed to stay.
Easy to back on his Carlisle bumper debut (offered something to work on) he again showed ability at Ayr on his second outing. That form isn't anything out of the ordinary but this is a fairly ordinary contest; makes him a player.
Second runner in the contest for a yard that are having a good season although they are still rather weak in this sphere. Half-brother to a couple of fair types over jumps and market will be a useful guide to his chances.
Bahri mare whose pedigree is rather modest and has offered little in two bumper starts; started at big prices on both starts. Surprising if she can get involved in even this modest affair.
Bred to need time and distance (has had a wind op); made little impact on her Carlisle bumper debut; best watched on this second start.
Pulled up lame last time after not be disgraced on his debut but others have more obvious claims; yard are 0-52 in bumpers, last five years.
Forecasts
Sidi Ismael (11/10), Djebel Rome (3/1), Be One (7/1), Jembug Drummer (8/1), Uknowmymeaning (10/1), Shamitsar (16/1), Fair Minx (50/1), Crow Stone (50/1), Montelimar (50/1), Fast And Friendly (100/1), Darcey's Penny (200/1), Eveque (250/1)
Essentially an ordinary bumper with the Keith Dalgleish runner SIDI ISMAEL setting the standard for a yard that has 28% strike-rate in bumpers over the last five seasons. Rebecca Menzies isn’t especially known for her bumper winners but the yard are having a good season and both her runners Djebel Rome and Uknowmymeaning demand respect here with the former having already shown that he has ability. Jembug Drummer didn’t show that much on his debut at Newcastle but he cost €85,000 and is bred to better than he showed on his debut. Be One is another one worth watching having already won a bumper in the point-to-point sphere.
- Sidi Ismael
- Be One
- Djebel Rome
