Deploy To Spy

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy

10/3

£6,500 Telescope gelding. Half-brother to poor hurdlers Lammturner and Seeyouinvinnys. Interesting contender for a stable which has a good record in bumpers.

Form:

Doiwannaknow⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

15/2

Unseated in his sole point. Makes Rules debut with his yard in form. One to note in the betting.

Form: U-

Minella Miracle^t1⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr J Reddington⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gallagher

20/1

Getaway half-brother to bumper winner Code Name Lise. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Welsh Shadow. Wears tongue strap. Makes some paper appeal so worth a market check.

Form: 7/P-2

Potters Bishop⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: M Crawley

13/2

22/1, ninth of 16 in bumper at Huntingdon on debut 68 days ago. Has left Charlie Longsdon. Not an obvious one judged on that run but Harry Cobden has been booked.

Form: 9

J C International²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Fell & S Murray

125/1

Prominent in the betting for his Hexham debut last month but never threatened in eighth. May come on for the outing but Brian Hughes looks elsewhere this time.

Form: 8

Jormungandr

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys

18/1

Nathaniel gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Gerolamo Cardano. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Stable 0-25 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons so it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form:

The Eventmaster

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

3/1

Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Dariya. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Another newcomer to note in the betting.

Form:

One Colour¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: B S Hughes| T: Rae Guest

9/4

9/2, raced too freely and didn't get home on her Huntingdon debut in February but Brian Hughes has been booked for her return and she could prove a different proposition if settling better this time.

Forecasts

One Colour (9/4), The Eventmaster (3/1), Deploy To Spy (10/3), Wexford Park (6/1), Potters Bishop (13/2), Pic The Power (7/1), Doiwannaknow (15/2), Jormungandr (18/1), Minella Miracle (20/1), J C International (125/1)

In a race where the betting could be very informative the suggestion is DEPLOY TO SPY whose stable has operated at a good 21% strike-rate in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Pic The Power is another newcomer from a yard which gets plenty of winners in these events, while Rae Guest's One Colour could play a part if settling better than she did when sent off a well-backed 9/2 for her debut in February.
