9/4

Impressed when making a winning debut in an AW bumper at Lingfield in march 2018 and then tailed off in Grade 2 company at Aintree. Long absence to overcome and win was won in a slow time. Market likely the best guide.

16/1

Hung quite badly when coming under pressure after making the running on May's Ludlow debut. Hood goes on but plenty of improvement needed to be involved.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Bargary| T: Mrs E Bishop

12/1

Changed hands for £16,000 following a couple of placed efforts on the point=to-point scene. Bred to need a stiffer test in time and best watched on Rules debut.

Form: 23/

Lermoos Legend⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

4/1

Midnight Legend gelding, cost £16,000 as a three-year-old. Beat one home in a six runner contest over this C&D on debut but still raced with promise for a long way. Could improve for the run and a likely challenger.

Hit The Bottle^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

11/10

Stable quiet with their bumper runners but overall have been profitable to follow in recent years. Interesting pedigree being a first foal to an unraced mare who is a sister to Ollie Magern, Billie Magern and Petite Margot. Interesting on debut.

Forecasts

Hit The Bottle (11/10), Dazibao (9/4), Lermoos Legend (4/1), Staar (12/1), George Edward (16/1)

HIT THE BOTTLE catches the eye on breeding and this represents a realistic opening for a stable well capable of readying a newcomer in this sphere. Lermoos Legend was challenging for a long way on debut and should be stronger for the run. Dazibao is hard to weigh up following a lengthy absence but clearly has ability based on his debut win and a move in the betting would be interesting.
