8/15

Point winner who has made a good start under Rules, building on promise of course debut when taking 7-runner bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) in November. The one to beat.

Form: 21-21

Mr Mcloughlan²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: Craig Lidster

12/1

Offered something to work on amidst inexperience when third on Newcastle bumper debut last month but made little impact at Kelso since. Likely a longer-term project.

Form: 30

Elzour

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: I W McInnes

33/1

£1,000 3-y-o, U S Navy Flag gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including useful 1m winner Establish. Dam 7f winner. Yard not known for its NH performers.

Form:

Our Super Six⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Freddie Keighley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Keighley

7/1

Boats a good Flat pedigree but no immediate sign of promise on bumper debut at Hereford 47 days ago.

Form: 5

Swingforthefence

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

16/5

Soldier of Fortune gelding. Brother to dual bumper winner/useful 2m hurdle winner Royal Infantry, and half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Sovereign Gold. Yard had an excellent season and market strength for this newcomer could prove significant.

Forecasts

Swingingonthesteel (8/15), Swingforthefence (16/5), Our Super Six (7/1), Mr Mcloughlan (12/1), Elzour (33/1)

SWINGINGONTHESTEEL sets a good standard here and can register his second bumper victory in the finale. Jennie Candlish's debutant Swingforthefence may provide the chief threat.
