Verdict

The first of six Jumpers Bumpers today, and with the fixture being held at Southwell, as well as all the usual pitfalls to avoid in these races, we have the added question of which horses that have never tried the surface will act on it. In this first race, there's no such qualms with SHINE BABY SHINE, twice a winner in 2m handicaps here over the past few months. He wouldn't get near a few of these under normal circumstances but the Fibresand is a great leveller and he can put his experience of the place to good use. Magic Dancer is the class act here and there's a decent chance he'll go on the surface, so he looks the danger. With Swashbuckle not really performing with any great relish on his only start here, maybe Ortenzia could be the one for the trifecta spot.
