Annie Wicks⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

11/1

Closely related to useful chaser Annsam and showed something to work on when third at Plumpton on debut, doing her best work at the finish. Claims if she can build on that.

Form: 3

Dollar Bae⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

7/2

€5,000 3-y-o, £40,000 4-y-o, Sageburg mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser The Flame. Dam 2½m hurdle winner on sole start. Easy winner of a point and an interesting Rules newcomer.

Form: 1

Fishcake

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

4/1

€25,000 3-y-o, Mahler mare. Half-sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Monkfish and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Looks Like Power. Obvious claims on debut.

Form:

Kentford Swansong

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins

40/1

Sulamani mare. Sister to 2 winners, and closely related to fairly useful hurdler Swallowshide. Not a forlorn hope on debut.

Form:

Kilfords Queen³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

50/1

Third in an Irish point but little show under Rules so far.

Form: 307

Parkin Fine⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

6/1

Bred to need further and only sixth at Warwick 3 months ago. Vulnerable to speedier rivals.

Form: 6

Perculator

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

8/1

Telescope mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler San Rumoldo and bumper winner En Joule. Bred to do well in this sphere and represents a top yard, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form:

Toast The Host

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White

20/1

Arctic Cosmos mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Just A Whim, stays 3¼m. Dam 2½m hurdle winner on sole start. Likely to need time and distance.

Form:

Hedychium⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Houlihan| T: J W Mullins

66/1

Out of a winning miler but didn't show enough in a junior bumper at Newbury to think she can make an impact in this.

Form: 9

Treyarnon Bay

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: G Sheehan| T: J Tuite

9/4

Mastercraftsman filly. Half-sister to 2 winners on Flat, including Ras Al Qimmah. Dam 8.2f winner. Should have enough speed, so worth a market check.

Forecasts

Treyarnon Bay (9/4), Dollar Bae (7/2), Fishcake (4/1), Parkin Fine (6/1), Perculator (8/1), Annie Wicks (11/1), Toast The Host (20/1), Kentford Swansong (40/1), Kilfords Queen (50/1), Hedychium (66/1)

PERCULATOR represents a stable with a good record in bumpers and is bred for this sort of test so, without the benefit of market clues, she gets the vote ahead of Fishcake, who also makes plenty of appeal on paper. Dollar Bae, a winning pointer, also merits consideration.
