Ron Hodges isn't known for his bumper winners and Scarlettscharryiot is probably best watched until seeing something to jump over. Salut Honore is related to winners over the jumps in France but didn't show too much on bumper debut with Bad Sir Brian observed again after a couple of inconsequential runs. Border Station makes a first start for his new trainer and after showing elements of ability in two bumpers in Ireland he could be involved, but the vote goes to OSCAR MAC. Tim Vaughan is 0-7 in recent seasons in bumpers here but can defy that statistic with his entry here. The dam of Oscar Mac was a bumper winner and with Richard Johnson in the saddle he can score in the finale.
