Anything Don Cantillon runs in a bumper needs a second look and SO PROUD has to be of interest with Sean Bowen booked. Impressive Ballinrobe winner Jules Winfield appeals most of those with experience, though On To The Rouge and Freddie Steady Go were strong in the market ahead of their successful debuts and have to be feared, along with Kapitein Kool.[Alistair Jones]

Stable doesn't have many bumper winners but this 4yo was sent off favourite at Newcastle (good; 3-1) and he only needed to be pushed out to collect by 5l; can pick holes in the form but that was a promising start.
Has a good French Flat pedigree and he strolled clear to win by more than 6l on good ground at Ballinrobe, posting a useful RPR in the process; Derek O'Connor rides again with the tongue-tie retained; respected.
Well-related gelding who was prominent in the betting at Market Rasen (2m, good) and he won easily from off the pace after travelling strongly; Brian Hughes maintains the partnership; major player.
20-1 when beaten 25l at Kempton, finishing well behind Kapitein Kool; did race freely and might be more settled with that experience in the bag, but others are preferred.
Showed more second time out when keeping on to be beaten just over 3l at Kempton (good) and the winner has since won a maiden hurdle; that run entitles him to considerable respect and Harry Cobden takes over.
�15,000 3yo; second foal; half-brother to Polish 6f 2yo winner Cyrano; dam unraced close relative of 12.5f-2m2f Flat and 2m/2m4f hurdle winner Dinard Rose; trainer has always done well in bumpers (had the second in this last year) and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting.
Eighth foal; closely related to 2m2f/2m3f chase winner Miladygrace and half-sister to winners Vintage Fizz (2m3f/2m4f hurdle/chase), Getaway Glory (point/2m7f chase) and Fameaftertheglory (bumper); dam point winner; cheekpieces fitted for debut and partnered by a 10lb claimer, so probably best watched.
