- Big Wigg
- Stan Sheppard / T Lacey
|
|
|
9/1 |
Big Wigg
Half-brother to his connections' 2m4f chase/2m6f hurdle winner Roger Rarebit; wears tongue-tie; should have a future.
|
|
|
|
- Daly Boy
- Henry Brooke / O Greenall & J Guerriero
|
|
|
3/1 |
Daly Boy
Still questionable what he achieved when second in an Irish point in December but has joined a good yard for £60,000; hard to rule out.

- Dartmouth Castle
- Theo Gillard / D Mccain Jnr
|
|
|
17/2 |
Dartmouth Castle
By smart 1m4f/1m6f performer Dartmouth and the first foal of a Flat/hurdle winner; useful pedigree and market can guide.
|

- Geordie Mackem
- Craig Nichol / B Ellison
|
|
|
11/4 |
Geordie Mackem
Out of a Listed hurdle winner; similar sort of form in his competitive shows at Wetherby and here (good to soft both times) and was short in the betting for those; good form claims in this company.

- He's A Diamond
- B S Hughes / Micky Hammond

|
|
40/1 |
He's A Diamond
Not beaten a rival in two bumpers after finishing second in an Irish point; has had wind surgery but much to prove now.
|
|
|
|
- He's A Ripper
- Emma Smith-Chaston / Paula Smith
|
|
|
100/1 |
He's A Ripper
Third in a Larkhill point and then bought for £4,500; finished last in a Wetherby bumper (soft; 150-1) one month ago; hood is removed.
|

- Luckie Devil
- Danny Mcmenamin / N G Richards
|
|
|
9/2 |
Luckie Devil
13,000euros 3yo; fifth foal; half-brother to bumper and 2m/2m4f hurdle winner Luckie Seven; dam point and 2m1f/2m3f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m4f hurdle/chase winner Foxy Jacks; good pedigree and the yard wins plenty of bumpers.

|
- Milan Park
- Ross Chapman / C Grant
|
|
|
20/1 |
Milan Park
Showed ability when fifth of ten at Kelso (good) in April 2023; had wind surgery during his lengthy absence and likely best watched.
|
|
|
|
- Mr Mcloughlan
- Sean Quinlan / Craig Lidster
|
|
|
14/1 |
Mr Mcloughlan
Half-brother to winners Pastime (7f/8.6f), Showtime Star (6f-7f) and Dusky Dawn (1m); dam tough 5f-6f winner; easy to have stamina doubts over this far.
|
|
|
|
- Sparky Tom
- Ryan Mania / Paul Robson
|
|
|
28/1 |
Sparky Tom
First foal of a modest maiden hurdler; wouldn't be the obvious answer on debut.
|
|
|
|
- Take Him Tom
- Tom Midgley / P T Midgley
|
|
|
80/1 |
Take Him Tom
Put a line through his recent non-completion at Market Rasen as the saddle slipped but he did go off at 80-1.
|
|
|
|
- Tiptoptim
- G Sheehan / Jamie Snowden
|
|
|
1/5 |
Tiptoptim
Bought for £70,000 after easily winning an Irish point; one of the favourites at Plumpton (good to soft) in December when ridden colder than the front two, both of whom are useful (since competitive at Listed level); could be hard to beat.
|
|
|
|
- Anny Mcphee
- Bruce Lynn / D W Whillans
|
|
|
25/1 |
Anny Mcphee
Trained by Katie Scott when completely tailed off in a Hexham bumper in 2023.
|
|
|
|
- L'insurge
- Jamie Hamilton / Paul Robson
|
|
|
22/1 |
L'insurge
Half-brother to 1m4f AQPS Flat/2m1f-2m5f chase winner Idylle Fleurie; dam French 2m4f hurdle/2m6f chase winner; a 4yo who gets the weight allowance; trainer, who runs two, is 1-16 in bumpers in recent seasons.
