22/1

Well beaten in a handicap hurdle over an extended 1m7f at at Musselburgh (good-to-soft) last month. Interesting to see how he fares having won a bumper on turf in the past.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain JnrWS

20/1

Bumper winner on good-to-firm ground at Sligo over 2m2f in July last year. Well held on last months debut for this stable and is of interest having had wind surgery since that latest outing.

Form: 18

Perfect Predator⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| BF| D

15/8

In good form over hurdles this season including when runner-up over an extended 2m at Doncaster (soft) last month on his most recent outing. Strong claims of recording a victory in this event.

Form: 12-2722

Sunny Express⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Adrian Heskin| T: W Greatrex| BF

7/1

Placed in a bumper and a maiden hurdle in 2019 but disappointed on his two most recent starts over obstacles. Worth a check in the market back in a bumper.

Form: 3-258

Twice The Mustard

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr G Barfoot-Saunt| T: Mrs Tracey Barfoot-Saunt

250/1

Unraced Haafhd gelding out of a mare who was a winner in the Netherlands. Represents a small yard and is probably best watched on his belated racecourse debut.

Form:

Twig¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling

33/1

Keen and shaped as if he'd improve for the experience when finishing fifth of six in a bumper at Warwick (2m, good-to-soft) on debut last September. Market support would be notable on return from a break.

Form: 5

Getariver^h,t⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| BF

13/8

Dual bumper winner and has also registered a victory from three starts over hurdles. Well beaten in a heavy ground event on handicap debut at Southwell in December and is a leading contender on this occasion.

Form: 111-413

Henrietta Bell⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: G Sheehan| T: H Whittington| OR: 107

13/2

Twice a winner over hurdles last summer but finished held in two starts in the autumn and it was a similar story when seventh at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) in December when returning from wind surgery.

Form: F11757

Isthebaropen⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: G Hanmer

150/1

Well beaten third in a small field bumper over an extended 2m at Bangor (heavy) on Rules debut in December and struggled when last of eight in a similar race at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) later that month. Others make more appeal.

Form: P-38

Strike The Flint¹¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: Miss S Smith

33/1

Winner of a good ground bumper over an extended 2m1f at Plumpton last April but has struggled in two subsequent outings. Likely to find at least one too good in this event.

Form: 01-56

Forecasts

Getariver (13/8), Perfect Predator (15/8), Glajou (7/2), Henrietta Bell (13/2), Sunny Express (7/1), Last Golden Ticket (20/1), Carry On (22/1), Strike The Flint (33/1), Twig (33/1), Isthebaropen (150/1), Twice The Mustard (250/1)

PERFECT PREDATOR has been running well this jumps season and he can register his first jumpers' bumper race success by taking this competitive looking event. The selection can get the better of his rivals here with Getariver taken to claim second spot ahead of Glajou who represents a leading stable.
