9/4

Half-brother to 3 winners and solid start when runner-up at Southwell in November. Built on that when going one place better at Haydock and the one to beat despite a penalty.

14/1

€15,000 3-y-o. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run and this one offered something to work on fitted with a tongue strap when fourth at Taunton in March.

9/4

€15,000 3-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Serious Charges and fair hurdler Cosa Ban. Dam, modest 2m hurdle winner, also 2m winner on Flat. Yard can boast an excellent record in bumpers.

Forecasts

Pyffo (9/4), Solstice Saint (9/4), Ideal Des Bordes (5/2), Moon Chime (13/2), Fresh Speculation (10/1), My Fernando (10/1), Charmian's Place (12/1), Onewaywest (12/1), Jacobs Acre (14/1), Marmalade Time (18/1), Westbrook Lad (28/1), Pearlymoon (100/1)

PYFFO confirmed the promise of his debut in no uncertain terms when successful at Haydock in December and while it's rarely easy defying a penalty in a bumper, the same conditional rider is on again and he may well be up to the job. Charmian's Place is the obvious threat on form, with Ideal des Bordes and Moon Chime the pick of the newcomers.
