      Verdict

      Philip Hobbs has sent out the last two winners of this bumper and WESTEND STORY is likely to be a short price to complete the hat-trick. An easy winner when well backed on his debut under Rules at Huntingdon, he's preferred to the Wincanton scorer My Liege who also carries 7lb extra. Man From Mars is a half-brother to Greatwood Hurdle winner Jumps Road and also a winning bumper so any market support should be noted given trainer Nick Williams has a good strike-rate here with his bumper horses.
