Plenty of bumper winners in his pedigree and he enhanced the family record with a workmanlike success at Wincanton (heavy; 11-2) in December despite running green; he was one of three Honeyball runners that day and the same number line up here; might be the pick of them again.

Showed promise in the first of his two bumpers and he started his hurdling career with an encouraging third of ten at Hereford (2m, good) 23 days ago; jumped left in that race and he's open to progress on this switch to a left-handed track; in the mix.

Verdict

Ludlow winner Lightning Flash has to be feared with James Turner’s claim taking care of his penalty, but Anthony Honeyball does particularly well in bumpers and he runs five. The market should reveal plenty but DARK MATERIAL is a half-brother to this season’s Cheltenham bumper winner The Kemble Brewery and Sam Twiston-Davies is 8-22 for the yard this season.[Alistair Jones]
