Little for us to go on in this bumper and probably best to stick to the tried and tested trainers in this sphere, which leads us to Ace Of Clubs from the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard, with pointing performers Here To Eternity and Chosen respected, and Musique En Tete likely to go well. The selection put up a decent enough debut effort at Worcester and will strip fitter as well as being better for the experience, which he can put to good use here. Here To Eternity and Chosen have both succeeded in points and at least have some racing experience, so should be capable enough, while Musique En Tete comes from a yard who can have bumper winners and who are in form at present, but Ace Of Clubs can play a winning hand here.
