13/8

Closely related to 2 winners, and half-brother to smart bumper winner Killyglass and temperamental winning hurdler/chaser Solitary Palm. In good hands and respected if the betting speaks for him.

40/1

Aeroplane gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat. Dam Puerto Rican 5.5f-9f winner. Yard 0-49 in bumpers in last 5 seasons so likely he's best watched on debut.

11/8

Promising first effort at Lingfield in January. Unable to build on that when beaten favourite at Wolverhampton (AW) next time but he was better than result and retains potential for leading yard.

Form: 25-

Little Awkward

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood

13/2

€30,000 3-y-o, Montmartre gelding. Dam, 9f/9.5f winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Petite Parisienn. Stable gets the odd bumper winner so no surprise if he plays a part on debut.

Form:

Flighty Bride

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys

11/1

Bahri mare. Dam (c90) 2m-2½m chase winner. Stable had one finish runner-up in a bumper last month and he's worth keeping an eye on in the market.

Form:

Mrs Bailey

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Matthew Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins

18/1

€7,500 Westerner half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Our Joey and modest hurdler Innis Shannon. Yard does get bumper winners so she's another newcomer who could make presence felt.

Surf Walk (11/8), Fix Bayonets (13/8), Little Awkward (13/2), Flighty Bride (11/1), Mrs Bailey (18/1), Soaring Heights (40/1)

SURF WALK shaped encouragingly when runner-up on the first of 2 starts in AW bumpers at the beginning of the year and has to be considered the one to beat unless the market speaks strongly in favour of one or more of the others, all of whom are seeing a racecourse for the first time.
