14/1

€68,000 3-y-o, Robin Des Champs gelding, dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/high-class hurdler (stayed 21f) Get Me Out of Here. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and betting should guide.

Form:

Datsalrightgino⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

5/2

€70,000 purchase who has shaped with promise both starts in bumpers to date, runner-up at Plumpton (17.7f) last month. One to consider on that evidence here.

Form: 32

Denable¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Graham Carson⁽⁷⁾| T: A Carson

80/1

Bumper debut effort at Warwick (2m) 12 months ago wasn't devoid of promise but well held both starts so far this winter.

Form: 7-86

Italian Legend⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson

11/1

€65,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Sent off at 5/2 but looked very green and never posed a threat when well beaten third of 6 in a Fakenham bumper (2m) in November. Still, in excellent hands.

Form: 3

Lelantos¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| BF

8/1

€40,000 3-y-o, Presenting gelding. Bred to do well at longer trips over jumps and shaped in kind when third of 8 in a Hexham bumper (2m) in October. Others make more appeal with that in mind.

Form: 3

Miss Austen²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: H Morrison| BF| D

6/1

Has been seen sparingly but was most impressive when winning Ludlow bumper (15.7f) 12 months ago. However, proved disappointing at Huntingdon in December and not the easiest to weigh up.

Form: 3/1-8

Robelli³⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: Ian Williams

33/1

€28,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Bred to stay well and hinted at ability when midfield in a Warwick bumper (2m) on New Year's Eve. Yet, this again promises to be a more than sharp-enough test.

Form: 6-

Whitton Loch

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: Mrs S J Humphrey

150/1

Yeats gelding. Closely related to fair hurdler Our Rockstar. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler (2m-3m winner) Abbey Lane. Likely best watched unless market vibes are particularly strong.

Form:

Kimmins

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Aidan Coleman| T: N J Henderson

16/5

£62,000 3-y-o, High Chaparral mare. Closely related to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Santini. Dam (h113), ungenuine 2m hurdle winner, also 1½m winner sole start on Flat. Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

Hanafy

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: K Bishop

22/1

21,000 gns 3-y-o, Animal Kingdom gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Mustadrik. Dam unraced.

Form:

Shield Of Honour⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden

22/1

Promising second of 14 in bumper at Market Rasen (13.1f, good to soft) on NH debut in October, running on. Not in same form at Huntingdon the following month, however.

Form: 26

Socks Off

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: A Keatley

16/1

€42,000 foal: £52,000 yearling, Society Rock gelding. Half-brother to 6f-1m winner Odyssa. Dam placed up to 1¼m in Italy. Yard's newcomers always require a second look on these shores.

Form:

Tizio

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: David Bass| T: E De GilesWS

14/1

€58,000 yearling: £4,000 3-y-o, Intello gelding. Dam 1¼m winner on Flat in France. Others preferred with him making debut on the back of a wind operation.

Forecasts

Datsalrightgino (5/2), Kimmins (16/5), Imperial Storm (9/2), Miss Austen (6/1), Lelantos (8/1), Italian Legend (11/1), Clear On Top (14/1), Tizio (14/1), Socks Off (16/1), Hanafy (22/1), Shield Of Honour (22/1), Robelli (33/1), Denable (80/1), Whitton Loch (150/1)

A bumper with a decidedly open feel and IMPERIAL STORM may be worth chancing to come out on top. He showed ability without being seen to best effect when midfield in a Southwell bumper in November and promises to do better now. Kimmins is a most appealing newcomer for Nicky Henderson and feared, along with Datsalrightgino and Miss Austen.
