Selected odds by:

Mackenberg⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| D

9/2

Sole winner in the line-up. May be good enough to concede the weight all round, given how he made a deeply impressive winning debut under rules in a Carlisle (2m1f; soft) bumper in December.

Form: UF-1

Drenagh³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Alex Edwards⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph

25/1

Kalanisi gelding who made €19,000 as a three-year-old. Looks vulnerable on paper to speedier types on what is his rules debut, given all his form has come in point-to-points on slower ground.

Form: PU53

Faivoir⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

7/4

Strong form on only start under rules to date when runner-up in a bumper to one who has gone onto frank the form over hurdles. Yard hold a 23% strike-rate at the track. Major player.

Form: 12

Getabay⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: D A Jacob| T: G Elliott| BF

6/4

Sole runner on the card for Gordon Elliott who boasts an eye-catching 29% strike-rate at this course (4-14). Has to be taken seriously after his recent second at Limerick (2m; heavy) last time out.

Form: 62

Glance From Clover

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: L Treadwell| T: A Ralph

25/1

By Passing Glance and is a half-brother to same connections' 2m hurdle winner Mix Of Clover. Dam a half-sister to bumper/talented 2m chase winner Wilde Pastures. Interesting to see what the market makes of him on debut.

Form:

If Karl's Berg Did³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: W T Kennedy| T: M F Harris

12/1

Failed to build upon promising debut effort, when tailed-off in an AW bumper next time out at Lingfield (2m; good to soft). May have had excuses with the surface, so the return to grass looks the right to move. Bit to prove.

Form: 20

Jovial Spirit⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling

20/1

May well be capable of much better than he showed on rules debut when a distant 13th of 13 in a bumper at Newbury (2m; good to soft) in November. Current stable form is off-putting though.

Form: 30

No Quarter Asked⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

12/1

One of the more experienced runners. Beaten a long way into fourth on seasonal return at Uttoxeter (2m; heavy). Likely to fare more competitively once sent jumping, and he is subsequently best watched.

Form: 2-44

Beeandbee¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: J Mackie

66/1

Looks set to play another minor role if the form of her rules debut in a mares' bumper at Doncaster (2m; good to soft) is anything to go by. This is a stronger contest on paper.

Form: 0

Midnight Makeover²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke

200/1

Tailed-off on rules debut in a bumper at Ludlow (1m6f; soft) when 100-1. Best watched for yard who haven't had a winner in 650 days (53 runners in that time).

Form: 9

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to board prices only - deduction 5p in the pound

Forecasts

Getabay (6/4), Faivoir (7/4), Mackenberg (9/2), No Quarter Asked (12/1), If Karl's Berg Did (12/1), Regaby (16/1), Jovial Spirit (20/1), Drenagh (25/1), Glance From Clover (25/1), Beeandbee (66/1), Wetanwindy (66/1), Midnight Makeover (200/1)

A quality bumper to round off the card with preference for GETABAY. It is interesting that Gordon Elliot decides to send this son of Getaway to a track he holds an impressive strike-rate (4-14) at as his only runner on the card. He showed improvement from his debut effort to find just one too good last time out, and he can make it third time lucky. The biggest threat to the selection is Mackenberg who must give away 7lbs all round after he got off the mark in ready fashion when scoring at the first time of asking on his rules/bumper debut a couple of months ago. After the form of the race Faivoir ran in on debut has been franked, he should also be thereabouts.
