Has delivered useful RPRs in winning his two bumpers; strong contender

Third in a valuable Punchestown bumper and open to lots of improvement for Paul Nicholls
6	Realco Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Dan Skelton	J:Nico de Boinville T:Dan Skelton	161	—	31-1	-	117	104	26d	—	—	+1	13.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Defied an absence and a penalty on stable debut at Exeter; going the right way
10	Kernie d'Airy Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	154	—	1	-	122	-	90d	—	—	+2	13.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Bought for £155,000 after running away with her sole bumper start in France

The form of his Plumpton win has worked out well; should have a bright future
11	Precious Metal Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Henrietta C Knight	J:Brendan Powell T:Henrietta C Knight	153	—	21	-	113	90	38d	—	—	+6	16.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
It didn't look that strong a Listed race he won at Cheltenham; older opposition here
5	Maldini Milano Bay J:Freddie Gingell T:Paul Nicholls	J:Freddie Gingell T:Paul Nicholls	161	—	1	-	110	77	82d	—	—	+5	11.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Long odds-on when easily winning a very weak bumper at Exeter; yard runs two

Beaten by Sober Glory in an Irish point; Market Rasen form doesn't look good enough
8	Swindon Village Grey J:David Bass T:Charlie Longsdon	J:David Bass T:Charlie Longsdon	161	—	2-13	-	109	57	44d	—	—	+2	4.2	10.00/1	40/1 2%
First and third in two bumpers but has to raise his game to threaten the best of these
9	West Hill Verde Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Seamus Mullins	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Seamus Mullins	161	—	2-9	-	113	75	50d	—	—	+2	4.2	12.50/1	50/1 2%
