Some powerful NH stables have runners in this bumper. Jonjo O'Neill's Yewlands showed promise when fourth at Wetherby. Hard As A Rock was third at Wincanton in December and his yard is back in form. Clondaw Cracker won a point-to-point in November while Action Replay, a son of Milan, is a half-brother to a bumper winner in Ireland and will be expected to pay his way. The jumps-bred Brio Conti is also worth a market check and Nicky Henderson's Magic Bullet will have his supporters. ASUM is by leading NH sire Kayf Tara out of a mare that won a Listed bumper at Aintree in 2009 and hurdle races later. The Skeltons have already had a season to remember and this one could be another winner for the yard.
