NonRunner
With Ahorsewithnoname a non-runner, Nicky Henderson relies on Lingfield bumper winner Brilliant Present but she was only fifth on her hurdling debut at Ludlow. UCANAVER goes well fresh and she was an above-average bumper winner. She is also a half-sister to a winning hurdler in Ireland so the switch to jumping should see her make further progress. Global Famenglory showed promise in bumpers with Harry Skelton preferring her to former pointer She's So Lovely. Malaita won a Ludlow bumper in May and Rebel Roxy is also worth a second look.
