Way Maker (G)
Winner of bumpers on good/good to firm at Bangor and Stratford last summer. However, conceding weight all round in this much stronger race on the back of a 7-month absence will not be easy.

Diamond Street (G)
FAV
Looked good when winning a soft-ground Doncaster bumper on debut in January, always travelling well and, having been produced to lead over 1f out, he quickly put daylight between himself and his rivals. Top yard saddled the winner of this …

Keltype (G)
Offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in a 2m Chepstow bumper on debut in December. Duly built on that when scoring over the same C&D the following month and, provided that he takes another step forward here, he could have a part t…

Lover Desbois (G)
Scopey sort who didn't shape at all badly on his introduction over this C&D in November. Showed the benefit of that experience when scoring in decisive fashion at Kempton (2m, soft) next time and there is surely better to come.

Paul O'Brien | Harry Derham | 5 | 74.4 kg |

No Way Jay (G)
Harzand gelding who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Wincanton in November. Ran well upped in grade when fourth of 15 in listed event at Ascot a month later, but it's surprising to see him back here given that going left-ha…

| 19th | 6 | — |
Saint Arion (G)
£26,000 purchase out of a bumper winner who stayed 23f. Pulled up sole start between the flags and will need to be pretty useful in order to make a successful Rules debut in this contest.
|
R P McLernon | J & A O'Neill | 5 | 72.6 kg |

125/1

| 10th | 7 | — |
Spanish Stroll (G)
Nearer last than first starting out in a Kempton bumper last month and it's likely that he will need more time.

Lorcan Williams | J Tizzard | 5 | 72.6 kg |

| 6th | 8 | — |
The Mad Poet (G)
Poet's Word gelding who is bred to be useful and produced a promising first effort when runner-up in a bumper at Wetherby (2m, good) last spring. Subsequent fifth of 13 in a Cheltenham listed race was no backward step and should pick up a …

Bailly's Comet (G)
Looked useful when quickening nicely to land a Wincanton bumper debut in November and subsequent third to a potentially smart type at Cheltenham on New Year's Day represented a step in the right direction. Solid each-way chance with Harry …

| 3rd | 10 | — |
Irish Goodbye (G)
Half-brother to fair hurdler Prolific Profile and made winning start to his career in a Carlisle 7-runner bumper (17f, good to soft) last month. Clearly has an engine but this is a significantly stronger race.

Sam Twiston-Davies | N & W Twiston-Davies | 4 | 69.9 kg |

| 15th | 11 | — |
Callisto Queen (M)
£52,000 half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Midnight River and fair hurdler Gentle Connections. Didn't shape badly on her introduction at Warwick in November and while this demands a sizeable step forward, she's in good hands a…

| 12th | 12 | — |
Harzandacassandra (M)
Performed to a fair level when seventh of 9 in a bumper at Ascot on debut, just lacking a turn of foot when the sprint developed. Should do better in time but others make more appeal on this occasion.
|
Nick Slatter | D Killahena & G McPherson | 5 | 69.4 kg |

| 18th | 13 | — |
Sheactslikesummer (M)
£15,000 Getaway mare out of a 17f-2½m hurdle/chase winner who stayed 23f. Interesting that this Irish raider starts off in a race of this nature and it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting.
|
Miss A B O'Connor | P Roche | 5 | 69.4 kg |

20/1
|
| 7th | 14 | — |
Always Proud (G)
£19,000 half-brother to 4 winners, including modest 2m hurdler Dolly McQueen. Predominantly Flat-based yard is 3-10 in bumpers and this 4-y-o needs a second look in the betting.
|
J M Quinlan | D E Cantillon | 4 | 68 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 13th | 15 | — |
Master Roque (G)
£54,000 brother to French hurdler Iban Roque. Hails from a highly respected yard and the betting should offer clues in respect of the stable pecking order (yard also saddles Callisto Queen).
|
Tom Cannon | A King | 4 | 68 kg |
23
22/1
|
| 16th | 16 | — |
Mistral du Chenet (G)
No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to French 2m hurdle winner Lady du Chenet. Yard recently saddled a winning bumper newcomer at Doncaster but this one has been pitched into a pretty strong race for his debut.
|
Dylan Johnston | T Bulgin | 4 | 68 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 17th | 17 | — |
Show Your Hand (G)
£20,000 brother to bumper winner/fair 2½m hurdle winner Glancing Jack, while dam was a 2m-2½m hurdle winner. Yard's strike rate in bumpers in recent seasons is healthy enough and the market will likely prove informative.
|
Jack Tudor | D Pipe | 4 | 68 kg |

66/1
|
| 8th | 18 | — |
Bella Decree (F)
£45,000 Order of St George filly out of a 15f/17f hurdle winner. Yard's strike rate in this race-type is no more than fair and it's likely that this filly will be better for the run.
|
Harry Bannister | Miss E C Lavelle | 4 | 64.9 kg |
101
100/1
|
| 1st | 19 | — |
Lady Hope (F)
£55,000 half-sister to fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Blue Run. Yard has had some success in bumpers (16% strike rate in recent seasons) and she's worth a second look.
|
J J Burke | H Morrison | 4 | 64.9 kg |

33/1
|
| 2nd | 20 | — |
Madam Speaker (F)
£52,000 sister to bumper winner Chatty Girl and didn't do a great deal wrong when chasing home a useful-looking type on debut at Wincanton. That experience won't be wasted on her and she has to enter calculations.

S Bowen | N J Henderson | 4 | 64.9 kg |
