Imperial Nemesis is a half-brother to last season’s Champion Bumper fourth Next Destination so is expected to improve considerably on a first run at Ludlow when starting second favourite but there are one or two newcomers worth a second look in this. Let's Get At It may need further but General Custard is a half-brother to two winning jumpers and from a stable going well. THIBAULT is by proven NH sire Kayf Tara and cost £95,000. His stable has a good strike rate in bumpers here and he’ll know what’s required.
