Leader In The Park still looks well handicapped after winning nicely last time at Kempton. He has a fantastic pedigree with Supreme Leader on the dam side and he should continue to improve. He was reported by Ben Pauling to be suffering from a cracked rib last season when they were expecting much more as they really like him and hopefully he can start to fulfill his potential.

This is an absolute cracker of a bumper and it is difficult to desert Supreme Malinas who did us a favour last time out but at the prices I have to suggest Idaho Sun as an each way selection, who just touched off the former first time out in what has turned out to be a very good bumper at Newton Abbott. This race is packed with future good horses but Harry Fry has just hit form and it is hoped that Idaho Sun can improve enough to go close here.

Some useful looking horses line up here but at a massive price, I cannot resist a small each way bet on Fox Cottage. He has a good pedigree especially on the dam side which includes many former top National Hunt horses such as Alflora, Kings Ride and Deep Run. His trainer can have winners in this sphere and at big prices, so hopefully he can outrun his odds.

Deep Cave has been running well in some good races without quite getting really competitive. He brings some very good form from Ireland, and this testing ground and flatter track might suit him better than the races he has run at Cheltenham.

Jacobs Ladder looks well overpriced for this as long as the 8 remaining runners stand their ground. He had some very decent bumper form and last time out he was badly hampered before staying on at one pace to be beaten into 5th by the potentially very smart Workahead in a hot Leopardstown maiden hurdle over 2 miles. This step up in trip should bring about some improvement, and at a very decent price, he can go well.

This looks like a hot bumper, and Kop Land for Sam Thomas is one that takes the eye. Sam always has his bumper horses ready to roll first time out, and this horse is closely related to the very useful Good Risk At All. Necronaut for Paul Nicholls was very expensive and looks a big danger on pedigree, but Nicholls' bumper horses have not been quite as consistent this season. This time of year isn't his best, as he tends to flu jab his horses. Bossman Jack is also tempting as he is a half-brother to Gidleigh Park, but the stable jockey has gone to Newcastle, which would be a bit of a negative.

These 4yo bumpers are tricky as there tends to be a mix of flat bred and national hunt bred types. I always go for the National Hunt types and Tullow Troop looks worth a small interest on pedigree. His trainer Tom Weston has a reasonable record in bumpers and tends to sell on his best ones. Freddie Gingell looks a good jockey booking.

It is difficult to get away from the Skeltons in bumpers this season and despite carrying a penalty, Blue Carpet can win again. He has a lovely pedigree and his form has been nicely advertised since. Harry Skelton travels to Newcastle for the ride. The Brian Ellison horse looks promising and has a nice pedigree, but I don't like it when young bumper horses only have a few weeks between races as it can sometimes take the edge off them.

If you could ignore his last run, then Off The Jury would look a certainty in this race despite the fact that David Maxwell is riding. Obviously, not the best jockey around (and he would admit that himself), but surely if he runs anywhere near his best, he will bolt up in this.

Speculatrix doesn't leap out of the page, but a closer inspection of her form is interesting. She won a bumper first time out and then went on to finish 6th in the Aintree mares bumper which is working out very well. She was going to win easily first time out over hurdles before falling at the last and then made a bad mistake last time out. If she can improve her jumping she looks to have a very good chance here.

He then won a poor race at Tramore but traveled through that race at a very high cruising speed.

Jasmin De Vaux is not the scopiest of horses but he is very game and always sticks his neck out. His one poorish run was on Good ground at the Punchestown festival, so this soft ground will be ideal.
