Some Detail led down the hill on the final circuit of the Champion Bumper in March. He eventually finished seventh having being ridden with more restraint when successful earlier at Chepstow.

Tango Boy won a Market Rasen bumper on his racecourse debut but BOURBON BORDERLINE, a promising sort in points, travelled strongly for a long way in a Warwick bumper in March and will know more today.
