Selected odds by:
Made the perfect start to his career when winning a heavy ground 2m bumper at Ffos Las by 4L in December. Carries a penalty for that victory and is a leading contender once more.
Has run well on both starts so far including when finishing fourth over this C&D on good-to-soft ground early last month. Worth a check in the market in this contest.
Unraced Getaway gelding purchased for €46,000 at the sales as a three-year-old. Half-brother to the useful Loose Preformer among others and market support would be notable on debut.
Well held 46L last of seven in a soft ground bumper over this C&D when making his debut at the start of this month. Likely capable of better.
Improved on debut fourth when finishing runner-up in a bumper over 2m at Ayr (soft) at the start of November. Given a break since and is one for the shortlist on this occasion.
Failed to figure when finishing down the field in a 2m1f bumper at Sedgefield (soft) on debut last month. Probably best watched at present.
Unraced Mountain High gelding out of a mare who won three times on the Flat. Market support would be notable on first racecourse appearance.
Unraced Milan gelding bought for €48,000 as a three-year-old in 2018. Half-brother to multiple winner Skipping On and represents a good stable on racecourse debut.
Unraced Yeats gelding sold for €17,000 as a foal in November 2014. Half-brother to hurdles winner Policy Breach and is a notable runner for a stable with a 29% strike-rate (5/17) in bumpers in recent seasons.
Showed promise when finishing 14L fifth having racing from off the pace in an AW bumper on debut over an extneded 2m at Newcastle just under a year ago. Interesting to see how he performs on his first start since wind surgery.
Well beaten seventh in a heavy ground bumper over 2m when debuting in November. Others make more appeal on her return from a break.
Forecasts
Easy As That (9/4), Onward Route (3/1), Grumpy Mcgrumpface (10/3), Abington Park (7/1), Malpas (7/1), Room At The Top (18/1), Lyndale (18/1), Bollingerandkrug (25/1), Dartum Tempus (25/1), Ifyoucareshare (50/1), Tooyou (80/1)
GRUMPY MCGRUMPFACE is improving with racing and he can get off the mark at the third time of asking by taking the concluding bumper. The selection is taken to get the better of Easy As That, the only previous winner in the field while third place can go to Onward Route who hails from a stable with a good record in these races in recent years.
- Grumpy Mcgrumpface
- Easy As That
- Onward Route
