Fleury^t²⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer

9/1

Clipped heels and fell at Newton Abbot but did well when last seen in October in good ground Taunton bumper when 7L third of 10, splitting a pair of subsequent winners. A repeat of that should put her in the mix.

Form: PF3-

Get In Robin¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: D McCain Jnr| BF

9/1

Bought for £55,000 after winning a Point-to-point last year and sent off 11/8 favourite for first run in a bumper for this yard but disappointing she could only finish an 8L fourth of six (soft ground). Presumably thought capable of better.

Form: F/14-

Hit The Bottle³⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Horsfall| BFWS

28/1

Wore a tongue-tie when beaten at 11/10 in five runner bumper when with Fergal O'Brien here exactly a year ago. Sold for £9,500 shortly afterwards and wind operation since as he starts off for new yard.

Form: 2-

Keyboard Joan¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King

11/8

Bit keen on her bumper debut (placed in Point-to-points in 2018) recently at Uttoxeter but ran really well when second of 12 in a race dominated by runners from top yards, 2L ahead of Bonnie Golightly.

Form: 43/2

Move Closer^t1⁴⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales

20/1

Pulled up, then third of four finishers in pair of Point-to-points last year and tongue-tie now tried as he debuts in a bumper.

Form: P3/

Bonnie Golightly¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

3/1

Bit green, but ran with promise when third on recent good ground Uttoxeter bumper 2L behind Keyboard Joan. Normal improvement should see her play a prominent role.

Form: 3

Kala Moca

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

22/1

Third foal of dam who won on the Flat and over hurdles in these colours. Yard have 7% record in such events and worth a market look.

Form:

Kayarnah

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: M Goldstein| T: George Baker

6/1

Fourth foal of a dam who the trainer knows well. Half-brother Saamur won races under both codes and in-form trainer is a respectable 7-69 in bumpers so entitled to respect and betting should guide.

Form:

Non-Runners

Lazarina

Weight: 10-12| Age: 5

Forecasts

Keyboard Joan (11/8), Bonnie Golightly (3/1), Kayarnah (6/1), Nellie Kernow (6/1), Get In Robin (9/1), Fleury (9/1), Move Closer (20/1), Kala Moca (22/1), Lazarina (25/1), Hit The Bottle (28/1)

KEYBOARD JOAN finished just ahead of Bonnie Golightly at Uttoxeter recently and may be able to uphold that form from a race that is probably the best form on offer. Fleury ran well enough when last seen at Taunton in the autumn and should again go well, although as always in these races, the market should reveal soemthing.
