Supreme Soviet^t1⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: R Chapman

33/1

Half-brother to Slate House, therefore, is well-bred. Has shown very little in his three starts so far though. Tongue-tie is on for the first time here. Others proffered for stable debut.

Form: 709-

The Jigger²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| BF

13/2

£58,000 purchase as a three-year-old. Was a beaten-favourite on his debut at Warwick over this trip last month. The experience of his last run will have helped him and a much better showing is expected this time. Keep an eye for any market support.

Form: 0

Chasamax

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

9/2

€44,000 purchase as a three-year-old who is an interesting newcomer for a yard who have three in the race. Confidence behind the horse in the betting would be a strong sign.

16/1

Schiaparelli gelding who was a long way down the field on his Point-to-point debut back in April. First attempt at Rules. Others preferred in the race.

Kaymar

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson

8/1

€32,000 purchase as a three-year-old who is a half-brother to two bumper winners. Yard has to be respected and is definitely one to consider on his debut, especially if there is market support.

Form:

Rough Terain

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes

7/4

Mountain High gelding who was a €6,000 foal. Half-brother to Whiskey Chaser. Dam was lightly raced in bumpers. One to watch on debut.

Form:

Steal A March

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

9/4

Interesting that stable jockey has chosen this over a choice of three runners. Mount Nelson gelding whose dam was a winner in a bumper. Has to be on shortlist.

Form:

Vinnie's Icon^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Gray

25/1

Has shown very little over her four starts in her career, although her best effort came last time at Exeter where she was fifth over 2m1f. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Rough Terain (7/4), Steal A March (9/4), Chasamax (9/2), The Jigger (13/2), Kaymar (8/1), Don't Laugh At Me (16/1), Vinnie's Icon (25/1), Supreme Soviet (33/1), Pinot Noir (33/1)

STEAL A MARCH looks to be the first string for the yard as indicated by the number one jockey choosing this from the three stable runners. The debutant appears to have a great opportunity to get off to a winning start here as it doesn't look to be the strongest of bumpers. Rough Terain looks another interesting horse who is making his first start and is worth considering, while Kaymar is bred to suggest he could have success in a bumper.
