Form choice REALCO is the selection but allow for flexibility as all of the newcomers have respectable credentials, particularly Uptown Dandy (second choice) and Scorpio Rising, while point bumper winner Mistletoe also needs a check. Any strong market moves should be heeded accordingly.[Steve Boow]

Stoutly bred and proved suited by the testing conditions in two races last spring for Tom Weston, latest at Uttoxeter where he was still green and hung badly left but scored readily; that form has been advertised by the runner-up since; joined new connections for £80,000; sets a solid standard.
48,000euros 3yo; brother to bumper winner Queens Melody and his other siblings include hurdle winners in the US and Britain; dam unraced half-sister to French 2m6f Grade 1 chase winner Polivalente; yard has a good record in bumpers; interesting newcomer.
9,300euros foal, 50,000euros 3yo; half-brother to winners Bill Joyce (useful bumper and 2m/2m4f hurdle) and Churchroad Prince (2m6f hurdle), out of unraced half-sister to useful 2m2f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Return Spring; attractively bred debutant who has clear possibilities.
26,000euros 3yo; half-sister to winners Allart (smart 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase) and Sweet Adare (bumper/2m-2m3f hurdle); dam placed in bumper, sister to two smart winners over jumps; stable has a respectable strike-rate in bumpers; likely type.
Registered a 4l success in soft-ground point bumper at Great Trethew seven weeks ago for Danielle Kenealy (partner of Joe Tickle); seems a promising sort but the form is hard to assess; heed the market signals for further guidance.
£8,000 yearling; dam placed in bumper/2m hurdle, half-sister to 3m1f chase winner Party Fuzz, out of point/3m1f hurdle winner; yard had a few bumper winners last spring, including Realco who is in this field for a new stable; check the betting.
