Escort'kheops
Made the frame on all his completed outings in Irish points, including on good ground; new stable has had two bumper winners (from 35 attempts) in last five seasons; has plenty of experience and cannot be dismissed.

21,000gns yearling; Roaring Lion half-brother to five winners including Captain Chorus (Norwegian 7f-1m6f including Listed; RPR 108), Seaside Song (Norwegian/Swedish 1m Listed; 95) and Tavener (5f-7f; 86); dam 1m4f winner (79), closely related to 1m2f Group 1 winner; has a useful Flat pedigree, and in-form yard wins its share of bumpers; has had wind surgery.

Littletown Lad
Third in a point bumper, then well beaten on rules debut at Ayr (soft; 20-1) in January; needs to improve markedly for today's less testing conditions and the fitting of a hood.

Milan Park
Fifth twice in good-ground bumpers, with wind surgery and a long absence in between; now tongue-tied; needs to raise his game significantly.

Walk On Son
Tailed off in two events of this type, with a tongue-strap added on latest start; needs a transformation.

5/4 |
Japetus
Has a useful Juddmonte Flat pedigree; built on debut promise when winning five-runner race over C&D (good to soft; evens) three weeks ago with more in hand than the margin suggests (quickened well); more rivals to contend with here and has a penalty, but still holds leading claims.

Brooklynese
Some promise in point bumpers over the winter but was last of seven on rules debut at Doncaster (good; 20-1) three weeks ago; much more needed in a first-time hood.

80/1 |
It's Miss Marple
By Pether's Moon; dam 1m4f winner (RPR 64), sister to 2m hurdle winners Arctic Reach and Gin And Tonic; others appeal more on paper.

Ben Reid
Bred along similar lines to his stable's recent winning bumper debutant On To The Rouge, out of an unraced half-sister to bumper winner Simply Rouge and from the family of smart dual-purpose performer Clever Cookie; commands plenty of respect, especially if strong in the market.

Freddie Steady Go
By high-class middle-distance stayer Frontiersman, out of 2m hurdle winner; stable just 4% in bumpers in last five seasons.

Queen Marcia
Nathaniel half-sister to winners Majestic Ace (German 7.5f) and Gerolamo Cardano (2m/2m4f hurdle); dam maiden (stayed 1m4f; RPR 71), half-sister to 10.5f Group 3 winner Goncharova; yard's record in bumpers (0-32 last five seasons) is off-putting.
