Verdict
Shark Hanlon has sent the unraced Cable over for this Listed bumper but the home team looks strong. Golden Gate Bridge, Jam Session and Miss Fleming have already won bumpers and The Blue Bomber was called the winner at Lingfield only to later lose the race on review. Jockey bookings would suggest Le Coeur Net is preferred to stablemate Soulsaver today, though the latter has a stronger jumping pedigree. ONE OF US is another making his debut but he's by prolific NH sire Presenting out of a Listed hurdles winner so could be a nice prospect. He could be worth an interest if allowed to start at decent odds with Richard Johnson doing the steering.
