This looks to be a very competitive bumper with some top stables represented and so a narrow vote is given to Marbury Boy, King Caine and Amble Forge could provide most danger. The selection is from a yard that do well in this sphere and he is very nicely bred by Classic Cliche. His relatives include winning chaser Wonderkid and if the money is down take note. Amble Forge looks the best of the experienced runners having chased home Deep Reflection at Plumpton on his debut. He should improve and looks nailed on for a place. The other debutante to catch the eye is the Paul Nicholls trained King Caine, a son of King's Theatre. The market will of course be a good guide here, and if support comes for Marbury Lad it could be worth getting on the bandwagon.
