Liadawn

@1.80

Win

Liadawn has been entered in a few races recently but pulled out presumably because of the ground. With the heavy downpours at this track yesterday there should be no problem today. She has got a wonderful pedigree for National Hunt racing and is related to numerous winners. She looks like another likely winner for the master trainer Willie Mullins.

Bedtime Story

@6.50

Win

It is hard to forget the incredible performance Bedtime Story put up in the Chesham this time last year at Ascot, when she slaughtered a decent Listed class field. Her first run this year looked like a prep run for this, and with the improvement some of Aiden O'Brien's horses have been making, she can reverse placings with She's Perfect.

@23.50

Win

This looks fairly open on paper and Dotties Promise looks interesting as the ousider of the whole field. She is by the up and coming National Hunt sire Telescope and out of a Westerner mare who was trained by this trainer, Susan Corbett, and who finished second in her first bumper at 80/1. She could go well at a big price.

Horses generally need a break between races (probably 2 to 6 weeks depending on the type and length of race), but I have noticed over the years that when horses have a race only a day after they have run (which doesn't happen often), they usually run very well, and that applies to Tolstoy today. He ran a blinder to finish second at this track yesterday and he could go very well again today.

Not a very original selection but Rising Power should take a lot of beating. He won a very hot looking race first time out at Newmarket. He was eased down at the finish showing a very willing attitude and the horse in third won a very nice race at Newbury today.

The Gordon Elliott favorite looks the obvious one, but the form doesn't amount to much. The Olly Murphy-trained Princess Milania has shown a very good level of form in Irish point-to-points, particularly a second to the very useful Tom George import, Heron In The Park.

Consecrated

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

Consecrated looked very special on her first run at this track, using her long stride to win comfortably in a race that has worked out well. She then was only 4th in a listed race at York but that race has thrown up some good horses and she seemed to get caught out by the fast ground. Back on a softer surface she should bounce back to win this. Blue Bolt is the obvious danger and she looked pretty useful at Windsor last time.

Brosna Queen is a full sister to the very useful Queens Gamble, and she showed a lot of promise at the Punchestown Festival 6 weeks ago, finishing a never nearer 5th in what is usually a very good bumper. Queens Gamble prefers good ground, so the ground should be fine, and she has the assistance this time of Patrick Mullins in the saddle.

Love Talk looks interesting at a big price. He has top weight but that is not a disadvantage at Epsom and he seems to show his best form in soft conditions and with the weather forecast for heavy rain in the south it could be very soft by tomorrow.

Ryan Moore has deserted Whirl in favour of Minnie Hauk and he rarely gets it wrong, but Whirl was very impressive in the Musidora at York and through in a line with Secret of Love and Smoken comes out the much better horse, albeit Smoken ran well below par in the Musidora. The favourite Desert Flower is clearly a very good horse and would beat these easily over a mile, but her pedigree gives her only a small chance of seeing this mile and a half trip out.

Botanical

Daily Racing

@6.00

Lose

-50

Botanical has been running well in defeat in Listed races and has been dropped a couple of pounds by the handicapper. Epsom is a track where top weights do well due to the undulating, turning nature of the track and horses can never get up to top speeds. With Ryan Moore booked you would hope he has a great chance.

Lewis Carroll looks like the second string of the Aiden O'Brien horses, but he is a big price and has got a lovely pedigree. Also, he was foaled much earlier than Amadeus Mozart, who looks like the O'Brien number one on jockey bookings and is very short in the betting. So, he may be more forward and worth taking a chance with.

Tim Easterby is not a name usually associated with bumper winners but he does okay and he has got a good record with the family of Rosie Baloo. She has a very nice pedigree being by the fast up and coming national hunt sire Jack Hobbs and out of the good winner producing mare Tarabaloo who is by Kayf Tara. She wouldn't need to be anything special to win this race.

The favourite Shraheen could be opposable here as he hasn't run for 5 months and might need this. So the selection is Gavin Cromwell's Stuntman Steve, who has been running well recently. He has ruined his chances in his last 2 races with mistakes at vital times, and a good round of jumping can see him go close.

Look And Sea

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Win

Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott both have likely candidates for this race, but it could be worth a small interest at the price on Look and Sea. He is a half-brother to Fiddlerontheroof, who achieved a very high rating of 155. His trainer, Martin Brassil, doesn't have the greatest record in bumpers, i.e., 5% over the last 5 years, but that goes up to over 33% for placed horses, and he knows the time of day.

Kainsbourg has run creditably in some good races and his full brother Love Me Tender bolted up first time out in a bumper last night, but ultimately he has been a shade disappointing. The Store Boy really stands out as a good alternative, as he has a fantastic pedigree, is trained by a great trainer and is owned by one of his top owners. On paper he could be useful.

Love Me Tender has been entered up in a few races recently but pulled out late on, presumably due to the ground.

Doctor Steinberg looks like another winner in bumpers for Willie Mullins. He ran a very promising third to the brilliant Kopek Des Bordes at Fairyhouse on his first run and then ran second to a promising horse at Clonmel, who has since been beaten only ten lengths behind the exciting Bambino Fever at the Punchestown Festival. He should take this unless the well bred Gordon Elliott horse is anything special.

Lake Victoria reportedly missed some of her preparation before the English 1000 Guineas so could improve considerably and be difficult to beat, but the unbeaten Swelter looks potentially exciting. Trained by Dermot Weld she won first time out last season and then came out and won a listed race impressively from Exactly, who was unlucky not to win the French 1000 Guineas, so she must be in the mix for this.

Field of Gold has looked an improved horse at three, and after bolting up very impressively in the Craven Stakes, he then went on to be a fast-finishing second in the 2000 Guineas, when possibly given a bit too much to do. He has had a three-week break, so he should be fresh enough for this. New jockey Colin Keane takes over the ride, and he is highly rated in Ireland.

Meribella is a horse who seems to go well after a break, so she could be near her best on her first run of the season. Top weights have a good chance at Goodwood over further than a mile due to the undulating and turning track, meaning the horses don't go at a strong gallop throughout the race. She is not the biggest but is very game.

Top trainers Dan Skelton, Olly Murphy, and Nicky Henderson are represented here, all with promising-looking horses on breeding. But it could be worth taking a chance on Dan Horsford's representative, Beggar's Nap, who has a nice-looking pedigree as he is by Derby winner Wings of Eagles and from a very good family on the mare's side. Dan Horsford is not a well-known name yet, but he was assistant to Alan King and has made a promising start to his training career, including a first-time bumper second on Sunday.

It could be worth taking a chance on Columnist in this 6f handicap. Last year he was running well in Group 2 races, including a 3rd in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Our Rollo looks interesting in this bumper as he has a nice pedigree, being by Jet Away (a sire I like for bumpers) and out of an Oscar mare with lots of good horses in the bloodline, such as Deep Run, Supreme Leader, Flemensfirth, Buckskin, etc. Georgina Nicholls wouldn't be the most aggressive trainer with her horses in bumpers, but the half-brother won first time out for her, and she is in good form with 2 winners from her last 5 runners. The price is very tempting.
