Nigel Twiston-Davies has his team in good from and has a fine record with his runners in bumpers so while lacking any racecourse experience it may be worth siding with his representative, the son of Dark Moondancer, SYBARITE on his debut. Peter Bowen's Saint Luke, a winner at Ffos Las last month, is bound to be popular with backers but it is never easy to win a bumper under a penalty and of more interest may be Jennie Candlish's Search My Soul, who has shown winning form in a point-to-point in Ireland and has to be considered first time under rules. Any market support for Malcolm Jefferson's One Last Tipple would be of interest but preference is for Sybarite.
