Bumper winner who made the frame in his first two runs over hurdles before a disappointing effort at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October, after which he underwent wind surgery; returned from a break to finish a solid third over C&D last month and, still unexposed, may have more to offer now switching to handicaps.

Prominent racer; won 1m2f handicaps at Leicester and Epsom in midsummer and ran well in his hat-trick bid here in July; weak in the market and ran poorly at Newmarket 24 days ago (raced too freely); more to prove on ground slower than good.

Made it two wins in a row when scoring on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October and improved form in defeat the next twice, most recently third in 4yo Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in November; others may have greater potential but he might not be far away.

Drew nicely clear to make winning handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; took a giant leap forward when splitting Givemefive and Bottler'secret at Cheltenham; had the fitness edge that day but is worth his place in the field.

First foal; dam useful Flat/fair hurdle winner, half-sister to a smart Flat racer; 3-1 favourite at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) six weeks ago, running on well from the back for fourth of 11; that's modest form but she looks sure to do a good deal better, for yard which also has Brionywells; Jack Hogan is 2-3 for the yard in bumpers this term.

Verdict

Clap Of Thunder has the stoutest pedigree and that will come in handy should conditions turn really testing, while Maria’s Flame (second pick) is bred to do well in races of this nature. Another to consider is AMERICAN EMPIRE, who represents a trainer whose bumper runners are always respected and he won this with a newcomer 12 months ago.[Alistair Jones]
