THE NEW LION was impressed when he confidently handled a modest lead in his Market Rasen debut in April, was strong in betting and had a lot in hand. He was certainly well prepared for the switch to hurdles, so he can impress as a runner in top form on this type of journey.

Belliano is a fascinating rules debutant who was bought for big money after an Irish points success. However, strong market support for him would give the matter a slightly different perspective, while Kayf Dancer should also be considered.

QUEBECOIS may have been wrong when he faded quickly in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham last time out, but he looked promising when making a winning debut under the rules and remains a good jumping prospect considering he is worth £320,000 took points after finishing second in his only start.

He has a narrow advantage over Juventus de Brion, who has already shown quite useful form in the hurdles and will certainly open his account soon.

LOVERDOSE landed a punt on his cheekpiece handicap debut at Exeter in the spring, putting behind some uninspiring performances beforehand and showing more know-how on a more positive ride, and from that low base it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was around there to continue where he left off.

Pillar Rock certainly has more to come given the yard he represents, so he’s the second choice, ahead of Come On Nia.

There are many chances, but Dan Skelton is a rather weak driver MUMFORD’S MAGIC is determined to build on his promising debut at Stratford and take second place. He improved as he moved to larger fences, which he noticed he probably would have won if he had jumped better at the end, and he’s now only 2 pounds more in the weights.

Kim Bailey’s Exeter runner-up Magical Escape also has better days ahead and is the most feared. However, King Turgeon, Iberio and Betterforeveryone can also make good arguments in this exciting handicap chase.

Another open handicap with a lot to think about, but it might be worth hoping for an expensive point win THEFORMISMIGHTYwhose farm won last year with an up-and-coming debutant. He showed pretty serviceable form in the hurdles last season but is exactly the type of guy who can develop into a much better chaser.

Can You Call broke away from the competition when he finished second 12 months ago and can do well again, while Hititi may be at a serious disadvantage in this area given his success in hurdles.

The one that appeals the most is What are you wearing?who is two out of two on this course and distance, and he clearly set himself apart from the others when he narrowly lost out to an in-form, race-fit rival in his most recent appearance of the season in Hereford.

He is still treated fairly and preferred to Siam Park, who ended last season on a downer, but his mileage is low and he remains interesting. Solar System is also on the shortlist, as is handicap debutant Manowest.

Given the farms and family trees, this bumper has a lot of depth. A PAI DE NOM is considered a useful winner for the Skelton team and before the market gives any indication, she will be offered on debut and represents a shipyard that is in top form and has a good track record in this area. Sober Glory and The Final Word picked up plenty of points and are just a few potential threats.
