      Verdict

      Little Lu gets the confident vote in this bumper with Sweet Robinia and Take Me There rating the main dangers. The selection is unbeaten to date and won well last time out when beating Scholar King and although having a penalty he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Sweet Robinia rates the main danger as she is a well bred Bob Back filly, sister to several winners in bumpers and over jumps and with her yard in form she should be watched in the market. Take Me There is another worthy of respect as he is a Cape Cross gelding, half-brother to numerous winners from 6f-1m4f but the suspicion is he will be better for the run. Of the remainder Pride of Mine is another that is related to flat winners but for the winner we return to Little Lu who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
