Timberman has placed in a bumper at Newbury and dual hurdles winner Sunrise Ruby has won a bumper. Win My Wings finished runner-up over fences last time but several of these have form on the Flat. Jersey Wonder scored over 2m at Kempton during the summer and should have the measure of Supakalanistic and Monjeni but NIGHT BEAR is less exposed. Tony Carroll’s four-year-old has had just the one outing over timber but finished a close-up fourth in a decent handicap on the Flat here on New Year’s Eve and may prove the one to side with.
