From quite a good family and left his Exeter debut fifth behind when scoring in the mud at Sandown 8 weeks later. One of several smart prospects in this line-up.

This point recruit has won bumpers at Hereford (for Alastair Ralph) and Warwick (both good to soft), showing very useful form to defy a penalty at the latter with a tongue tie added (retained).

From a family which has served the yard well and looked a good prospect himself with a strong-galloping success at Fontwell last month. Sam Twiston-Davies partnered him on that occasion but seems to prefer stablemate Crackerjacque this time.

Purchased for £50,000 after making it fourth time lucky in Irish points in November and struck at the first time of asking under Rules in a 2¼m bumper at Fontwell, well on top towards the finish. Whether this shorter trip suits as well remains to be seen.

Leopardstown winner over Christmas and stepped up on that form when 3 lengths fifth (Koktail Brut fourth) in a Grade 2 back there at the Dublin Racing Festival. The yard's bumper runners are always to be feared.

Made a winning debut for Stuart Crawford at Down Royal on Boxing Day. Has subsequently been sold to join a yard doing well in bumpers this season. Interesting runner.

Expensive recruit after landing a point and he struck in good style in Fairyhouse bumper on Rules debut in December. Fourth at Leopardstown in his 2 outings since, latterly finishing 1¼ lengths in front of the reopposing Green Splendour at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Well-related sort who won an Irish point last spring and looked something out of the ordinary when following up in a Wetherby bumper at the beginning of February. This race was nominated as the target straight after that. Big player.

€90,000 Authorized gelding who provided the stable with yet another bumper winner this season when edging ahead near the finish on his Huntingdon debut (good to soft) in February. Yet another bright prospect in this line-up.

Sent off a big price but he quickened nicely to land 16-runner contest at Doncaster in January. Will need to leave that bare form well behind but connections have tasted success in this race in recent years.

Runner-up in a bumper for Sam Curling in Ireland last April and made a winning start for Paul Nicholls at Wincanton (good) in November. Respectable 17 lengths fourth in Ascot listed event the following month. Freshened up since. The yard has won this twice in recent years.

Placed in bumpers at Ludlow (good to soft) and Wincanton (heavy) before Christmas before coming good at Kempton (soft) in February. That bare form leaves him with a bit to find but Fergal O'Brien won this last year.

Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Southwell (soft) in February. That form is nothing special so a good chunk of improvement will be needed to make it 2-2.

MOSSY FEN ROAD created a good impression when striking on his Wetherby debut and might prove the answer to a concluding bumper featuring a host of promising sorts. El Cairos will be a big threat if over his Cheltenham Champion Bumper exertions. Debut-scorers Quaviste, Kilwaughter and Le Labo are just a few of many others to consider.
