Lebowski has placed three times in bumpers but has switched stables. Greatest Star has a similar profile but IMPERIAL HOPE can go one better than when second at Southwell in May having earlier won a point and a bumper. Moriko De Vassy has also won a bumper and is bred for jumping while Lord Of Cheshire is worth a market check as he cost £80,000 last year and is related to the useful hurdler and chaser Monsieur Lecoq, though sports headgear on his debut.
