Jimmi Chew, runner-up in a point in February, was staying on in a bumper at Uttoxeter so should have come on for the run. The Darley Lama was outpaced when third of four on fast going at Wincanton while Some Boy Mccoy was well beaten at Warwick in April though does have the champion on board. Tribesmans Glory went for E30,000 after landing a point at Loughanmore and has a chaser's pedigree but Nimby, who is by Doyen, is related to a useful bumper/hurdler and should have the pace for this. The latter remark also applies to THOMAS CROMWELL, a half-brother to four winners on the Flat and out of useful mare who won a Listed contest over 1m4f so he's handed the vote.
