Built on previous promise when making all in a Taunton bumper in February. Put up a useful effort when fifth of 18 in Grade 2 event at Aintree in April and seems sure to improve on his opening hurdles effort when second at this venue in a first-time tongue strap 17 days ago. Outstanding claims.

Timeform
Followed narrow Worcester bumper debut success with a couple of decent efforts in defeat. Struggled in Grade 2 company at Aintree when last seen during the spring but starts out over hurdles at a realistic level.

Timeform
Kayf Tara gelding who disappointed on his sole outing in bumpers but was in the process of showing more when falling 2 out on his Carlisle hurdling debut 22 days ago, might have been placed.

Timeform
Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), respectable effort last time. Left David Simcock's yard for only 6,000 gns in May.

Forecasts

Sorceleur (6/4), Wellington Arch (2/1), Yhprum's Law (9/4), Kingston Joy (20/1)

Verdict

SORCELEUR, a progressive bumper performer, seems sure to improve on his opening hurdles effort when second here 17 days ago, so he's a straightforward choice. Wellington Arch is preferred to Yhpum's Law for forecast purposes.
