11/1
Yeats gelding. Closely related to useful bumper winner/hurdler Stick With Bill. Overcame inexperience when 33/1 scorer on debut at Warwick last month. Winners have come from that race but more needed.

Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Earlofthecotswolds. Dam placed in French bumpers. Had a breathing operation prior to a promising debut second at Newton Abbot last month, nicely clear of rest.

Brother to useful chaser Dominateur. Dam unraced out of 19f-21f French chase winner Carali d'Airy. Created very favourable impression when a decisive winner at Newton Abbot a fortnight ago.

Good looker and attracted support prior to a keeping-on third at Perth in June 2019. Off the track for 16 months and didn't look an easy ride in a C&D contest 3 weeks ago.

€50,000 3-y-o, Robin Des Champs gelding. Brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler First Approach, and half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Hidden Charmer, stays 25f.

Plenty of promise when runner-up in 2 bumpers for Ruth Jefferson in the spring, particularly when pulling clear with a useful prospect at Newcastle. Not quite in that form on stable debut 2 weeks ago.

Luckless debut run (nearly forced off the track) and seriously impressive both starts since at Galway and Listowel, winning by a combined 20 lengths. Sets a very useful standard.

Forecasts

Weseekhimhere (10/11), Stage Star (5/2), Grandeur D'ame (10/3), Firestep (5/1), Good Risk At All (13/2), Conceroe (11/1), Onward Route (16/1), Jack's A Legend (18/1), Masteroftheheights (20/1), Let It Loose (28/1)

Verdict

Following a nightmare debut, WESEEKHIMHERE has displayed a useful level of ability in winning a brace of Irish bumpers by a total of 20 lengths and that level of form is superior to anything else here. The hat-trick beckons. This stiffer track is bound to suit Grandeur d'Ame and the Newton Abbot-winner is feared most.
