Verdict

Or Bleu and Equity Release both make their debuts in this bumper for Philip Hobbs, while Paul Nicholls saddles Woolcombe Folly for his first appearance on a racecourse, and these three debutants are the ones to focus on, with those with experience having shown little to date. Equity Release gets the vote to make a winning bow. Or Bleu hails from a little known French family and may be best watched in the market, but the fact that he is with Hobbs speaks for itself. Equity Release looks better bred, being a son of Supreme Leader from a winning family and he could be useful. The jockey booking may be relevant and should be noted. Woolcombe Folly is a brother to a winning Irish bumper winner and is a son of Presenting, so is also well bred. He should be watched in the market from a yard in decent form and can go well. Equity Release may prove a good source of cash flow.
