FOGGY'S WALL might be a nice prospect as the horse he beat in a Wincanton bumper just over a year ago, God's Own, has won three times over hurdles since including a Class 2 handicap at Kempton last month. He should be too strong for Prideofthecastle, who has also won a couple of bumpers but stopped very quickly after making the early running on his hurdles debut at Towcester. Steel City won a Ffos Las bumper in March but has changed stables since.
