14:35 Ghost Hunter
An interesting opener. GHOST HUNTER returns from an absence with his new trainer Jamie Snowden in excellent form, and this point runner-up is taken to make a winning chase debut.
Fellow chasing newcomer Catchim could also have untapped potential and is feared most ahead of Bravethewaves then Martalmix’jac.
15:05 Stringtoyourbow
The return to better ground could be ideal for STRINGTOYOURBOW, who is taken to add to his two wins at the end of last year on good/good to soft going.
Tommy Cullen can be a big danger if transferring his good recent Doncaster form to this new venue, while Quick Sharpener and Salley Gardens are capable if things click.
15:35 Service Minimum
The Dan Skelton-trained SERVICE MINIMUM has shown strong form in defeat on both starts and can get off the mark.
Harley’s Pride was a promising fourth in Ireland on her sole start and is feared most on this first run for David Pipe. Point runner-up Rock Sensation could be a different proposition on this second bumper run, while Misty Sunrise is an interesting newcomer for Olly Murphy.
16:05 Koapey
This should be a good opportunity for KOAPEY, who has bumped into some good horses when runner-up on his three starts. Two-time bumper winner Dunskay is open to improvement in this discipline and is second choice, with Luwdvig next on the list.
16:40 Coastal Rock
The lightly raced COASTAL ROCK has won two of his last three starts and can score once more. Tigerbythetail was a fair third at Huntingdon last time and looks the likely danger.
17:10 Ivane
Handicap newcomer Klapton Boy (second choice) could be on a good mark, but preference is for IVANE, who went close on last week’s stable debut at Fontwell and is due to run off 5lb higher in future handicaps. Scorsese won in good style at Sedgefield last Thursday and holds strong claims under a 7lb penalty.
17:40 Tramuntana (NAP)
Bumper winner TRAMUNTANA (NAP) scored on last month’s handicap debut at Huntingdon and can defy a 5lb rise and follow up. Two-time C&D winner Our Pink Lady went close at Huntingdon recently and may be the chief threat.
Pottersjetamay should appreciate the drop back down in grade, while a market move for handicap newcomer Barleythorpe would be interesting.
