Front-runner; latest win was under Mason Paetel here (1m2f) early last July for Ed Dunlop; 4lb lower today but that's after he went off the boil and there's been only a partial revival for new yard this year, finishing sixth of nine here last time in the race he won last year; the last time he raced over a trip this short was May 2025.

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.

A rare runner in bumpers for the Easterbys (1-7 since April 2019); certainly plausible on pedigree, being by Derby winner Sir Percy out of a 1m2f-2m winner from a French middle-distance staying family.

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]
