Selected odds by:
Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Music of Tara and overcame inexperience to make a winning start in Kempton junior bumper in March, green (took keen hold) but coming clear. Matched that form when runner-up under a penalty over C&D a month ago and that puts him in the mix.
|
Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including smart French hurdler/chaser The Stomp and fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Vlatan. Heavily backed and overcame a troubled passage to make a winning debut at Taunton 3 weeks ago. Sure to leave bare form behind.
|
€62,000 buy who won only outing in points January. Bred for the Flat and drew clear to land 10-runner bumper at Uttoxeter last month, putting his experience to excellent use given how he stuck to the task.
|
Big gaps between each of his three runs but showed form when third of 6 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft, 9/2) 14 days ago. Didn't look totally straightforward in the process and this calls for more.
|
Passing Glance gelding. Brother to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler Finest View and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Can You Call. Tough task on debut.
Won a point bumper in April and fitted with a tongue strap, he looked a good prospect when 10-runner bumper at Chepstow 44 days ago, holding on gamely. Runner-up that day successful over hurdles since and that looks pretty solid form.
|
€120,000 3-y-o, It's Gino gelding. Dam 17f French hurdle winner. Ignored in the betting given his connections but fitted with a hood, he overcame inexperience to make a winning start over C&D early last month, Probably needs to settle down in this class.
|
Brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdle winner/smart chaser Minella Crooner,. Dam hurdle winner abroad up to 2½m, also 11f winner on Flat. Won sole start in Irish points in April and powered clear in the manner of a useful prospect at Chepstow in October. Major claims.
|
€26,000 3-y-o, £160,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser El Muchacho, stays 21f, and bumper winner Monty Bodkin. Easily won sole start in points in February and transferred to a leading yard.
Bred for stamina and shaped that way in bumpers, driven out to score at Hereford last month. This is a totally different assignment.
|
Walk In The Park gelding out of a useful one for connections. Prominent in the betting and produced a promising first effort when second at Haydock in May. That race worked out pretty well.
|
Runner-up in a bumper for Sam Curling and having transferred to a leading yard, he showed a willing attitude to land 4-runner contest at Wincanton last month. In the right hands to progress again.
|
Dam a half-sister to a bumper winner and he made the perfect start himself in 8-runner contest at Wincanton (all newcomers) seeing off a well-back rival, Sure to improve.
|
€45,000 3-y-o, Planteur gelding. Half-brother to 10.5f-1½m winner in France Frame. Dam placed at 9f/1¼m in France. Bred for the Flat and having failed to settle fully, he showed a lot to work on when second on February's debut at Kempton.
|
Progressive dual-winner in Irish bumpers for Patrick J.Flynn, unchallenged at Listowel in September. Since moved to David Pipe and he sets the standard.

Forecasts
Moneygarrow (11/4), No Drama This End (5/1), Windbeneathmywings (6/1), Blues Singer (8/1), Doctor Blue (8/1), Fresh Perspective (10/1), Tennessee Tango (10/1), It's Top (12/1), Step Ahead (12/1), Kajikia (16/1), Swingin Safari (20/1), West Hill Verde (50/1), Glance At Midnight (66/1), Presenting Milan (66/1), Gallant Approach (66/1)
Plenty of potential on show in this 4-y-o listed bumper with MONEYGARROW arguably the pick of the bunch given the impression he created at Chepstow in October. Windbeneathmywings has been sold privately having won a brace of Irish bumpers and he demands respect, with Doctor Blue perhaps the one open to most progress.
