Only three of these have run in a bumper before. Of that trio, NOTLONGTILLMAY makes most appeal given he ran green when second behind stablemate Storm Dennis at Warwick in May. Newtonian will need to improve on his second at Fontwell and points winner Manothepeople may have more scope. Gamaret and Time For Hollie also represent powerful NH yards with Anthony Honeyball’s pair Gabriel's Getaway and Khalina Star others worth a market check.
