Bumper winner Mr Scrumpy will build on his third at Market Rasen and may be the biggest threat to likely hot favourite GLINGER FLAME. Nicky Richards’ charge went close in a couple of maidens at Ayr before running away with a handicap here last month racing off a mark of 117. The assessor raised him 16lb for that so it’s probably a wise move to run him back in novice company under a penalty. Honourary Gift has won a bumper and a hurdle at Sedgefield but looks to have a bit to find against the selection off level weights.
