Socialist Agenda³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| CD

3/1

Showed a good turn of foot to make a winning debut over C&D 37 days ago. Ought to be competitive under his penalty.

Form: 1

Ace Time²²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J R Jenkins

18/1

Modest form in 3 AW bumpers at Lingfield last winter. Will need to improve for the switch to turf.

Form: 445-

Dens Delight²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: O Murphy

9/2

5/2, had the reopposing Rickety Gate behind him in third when second on C&D debut (good to firm) 27 days ago. Could have more to come for his leading stable.

Form: 2

Rickety Gate²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R D Day| T: N G Richards

7/1

3/1, showed promise amidst inexperience when third (Dens Delight second) of 6 on C&D debut 4 weeks ago. May do better.

Form: 3

The Bees Knees¹⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien

9/4

£55,000 buy after striking at the third time of asking in Irish points. 11/2, promising third in Huntingdon bumper in March and open to progress on return for a yard in fine form.

Form: PF13-

Highwayman Vic

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Martin Smith

50/1

Dick Turpin gelding. Dam (h93), maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Wayward Frolic. Probably best watched on debut.

Form:

San Agustin¹⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey

6/1

Third on his sole start in points in February and much respected on this Rules debut for a yard which enjoys plenty of bumper success.

Form: 3-

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J Kington| T: M Weatherer

150/1

125/1 when last of 7 behind Socialist Agenda on C&D debut 37 days ago.

Storm Arcadio¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: L HorsfallWS

Ask Freddie^h1¹⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson

100/1

Failed to complete both starts in Irish points. Hooded for Rules debut. Likely outsider.

Storm Force One⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: P D Niven

22/1

Showed ability when in a couple of 12.5f Wetherby bumpers during the winter. Off 6 months. may have needed the run when only seventh at Uttoxeter 6 weeks ago.

Form: 53-7

Wait For The Lord³¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Bryony Frost| T: D R C Elsworth

16/1

4/1, well held in Huntingdon junior bumper last autumn but his prominent position in the betting suggests a bigger performance was anticipated.

Form: 8-

Forecasts

The Bees Knees (9/4), Socialist Agenda (3/1), Dens Delight (9/2), San Agustin (6/1), Rickety Gate (7/1), Wait For The Lord (16/1), Ace Time (18/1), Storm Force One (22/1), Highwayman Vic (50/1), Ask Freddie (100/1), Storm Arcadio (125/1), Sir Taaj (150/1)

THE BEES KNEES shaped well in a Huntingdon bumper back in March and can strike on his return for in-form Fergal O'Brien. Dens Delight is an obvious threat after his C&D second 4 weeks ago, while Socialist Agenda has a penalty to contend with but did quicken up nicely when making a winning debut here last month. San Agustin is another interesting contender.
