20/1

18/1, ninth of 10 in bumper at Sandown good) on debut in November for Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill. Returns from 6 months off under the care of a new yard.

Form: 9-

I'm A Believer

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

4/1

Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to a point winner and fair hurdler Police Academy. Stable no stranger to first-time-out bumper success. Check the betting.

Form:

Le Flying Ferret

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

7/1

£22,000 Choeur Du Nord gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Uxizandre. Stable has a 7-30 bumper record at this course so he's worth a betting check.

Form:

Kill The Groove^t1⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: B PaulingWS

14/1

Well held in bumpers in February/March and a subsequent wind operation (also tongue tied first time) needs to have made a difference.

Form: 3/U09-

Arfursgal^t⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball

7/2

Made a promising start when second in Newbury bumper in December. Went backwards from that when a remote third at Fontwell 3 months later but big shout if back to the Newbury form.

Form: 23-

Queen's Theatre¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

6/5

Stamina in pedigree and shaped like a stayer when third in 2m Stratford bumper in October. With that in mind today's extra yardage should suit. Probably the one to beat.

Forecasts

Queen's Theatre (6/5), Arfursgal (7/2), I'm A Believer (4/1), Le Flying Ferret (7/1), Kill The Groove (14/1), Jonjo Bravo (20/1), Charleyman (33/1)

Anthony Honeyball looks to hold the key to this race, with October's Stratford third QUEEN'S THEATRE preferred to Arfursgal, who needs to bounce back from a lesser run at Fontwell. Newcomers I'm A Believer and Le Flying Ferret would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for them.
