Forecasts

Balleticon (2/1), Frenchy Du Large (5/2), Catch The Swallows (5/1), Ifyoucanseemenow (6/1), El Kaldoun (8/1), Aurello (20/1), Timeforaspin (33/1), Jimmi Chew (100/1), Seymour Sox (100/1), Knocknagoshel (125/1), Battlebrave (200/1), Highland Way (200/1), Battletank (200/1)

Verdict

A competitive and what should be an informative bumper to end the card with El Kaldoun bidding to follow up under his penalty for the yard that won this last year and are exceeding their usual strike-rate in bumpers this year (also 11-41 in Bangor bumpers). He has to concede weight to what look likely to be some decent newcomers with Aurello from the Warren Greatrex barn looking the pick of that group; the yard have a 6-15 record here in bumpers. Balleticon has done very little wrong in this sphere and has to be respected but the suggestion is FRENCHY DU LARGE who really caught the eye on his debut at Warwick with that form already boosted by the win of the third.
  1. Frenchy Du Large
  2. Balleticon
  3. Aurello
