4/9

Refused at the first in his sole start but proved up to making a winning bumper debut at Kelso under Brian Hughes 6 weeks ago. Another bold bid is likely.

Form: R-1

12/1

Watar gelding. Dam, lightly raced on Flat, half-sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Sharjah. In-form stable gets bumper winners so she needs checking out in the betting.

Form:

Captain Cognac

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans

10/1

€4,000 Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (h110), bumper/2½m hurdle winner, sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Killer Miller. The stable is 5-48 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.

Form:

Shutfrontdoor²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore

10/3

Made a winning start to her career in a Fontwell debut last month. Sure to go well again.

Form: 1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Aiden Blakemore⁽⁷⁾| T: S Spencer

50/1

20/1, seventh of 8 in bumper at Southwell (good) on debut 31 days ago. Will need to leave that well behind.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Jentobello (4/9), Shutfrontdoor (10/3), Captain Cognac (10/1), Dontcontradictme (12/1), Wotalaad (50/1)

Unless the betting speaks strongly in favour of either of the newcomers this could develop into a straight fight between bumper debut winners JENTOBELLO and Shutfrontdoor, with a narrow preference for the former.
