Man of the moment AP McCoy partners Amore Alato in this for Nick Williams but the four-year-old would need to improve on his fourth at Chepstow to figure. Heath Hunter won bumpers at Thurles and Ffos Las last season and has to be of interest but SGT RECKLESS was also a decent sort in that sphere last term. He started third favourite for the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March but finished well beaten on that occasion and again later at Aintree, though looks the type to make a hurdler. Very Noble represents Paul Nicholls but Money For Nothing may have more scope.
