Oliver Sherwood won this last year with a decent novice and Kaphumor won his only start between the flags. Only The Bold has also won a point-to-point and Time To Tinker has had wind surgery since a disappointing favourite in a Wincanton bumper in March. Grand Mogul ran green in both starts over hurdles last year but has his sights lowered here while a switch to jumping should suit Cape Milano, a staying-on third in his only previous run in a Sandown bumper. SIZABLE SAM beat a big field in a Warwick bumper in February that has already produced a winner or two. He looks every inch a jumper and could be a nice prospect for Jeremy Scott.
