J: Ross Chapman

Finished third in a couple of Sedgefield bumpers but hasn't fared nearly so well over hurdles, earning a mark of 77; sticks to a non-handicap and needs major improvement for the first-time headgear.

Not disgraced in two small-field course bumpers in the autumn but struggled when 80-1 for Newcastle maiden hurdle (2m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; moves up in trip today.

Form & Verdict
Pulled quite hard and showed up for a long way when 17l fourth in a Hexham bumper in March (2m, good to soft); should improve on that, particularly if he settles better.

J: Jonathan England

T: Sam England

Won a maiden bumper here (soft) when with Rebecca Menzies, whom he has left since being a distant third at Wetherby in January (2m, soft); won a fast-ground point, so forecast conditions may help and he looks fairly treated on his handicap/stable debut; needs a market check.

Soft-ground bumper winner; hasn't threatened on first two hurdle starts (2m3f/2m, good to soft) and something to find with the principals here, but he might be able to run into a place.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Made it fourth-time lucky in points before changing hands for £20,000; never far away when beaten under 5l on good ground at Uttoxeter, since when she's undergone a wind operation; appeals most in this modest-looking bumper.
