Verdict
Few clues to work with here as less than half the field have racecourse experience. Wave The Grapes looks the best of those ahead of Bollin Across, though she was beaten more than nine lengths when third over course and distance nine days ago. Rookie trainer Dan Skelton saddles MASTER DENNIS, who is by Prix Ganay winner Fair Mix out of a mare who won several decent handicaps over middle-distances and was placed in Listed company. That pedigree should be more than good enough to win an ordinary bumper. In A Heartbeat looks the most interesting among the other newcomers.
