Forecasts

Or De Vassy (5/4), Whatswrongwithyou (11/4), Crucial Role (3/1), Bridge of Cally (7/1), Jaunty Flyer (20/1)

Verdict

Whatswrongwithyou was clearly expected to show more at Kempton last time but proved a major disappointment. He may have run too freely that day and a hood is fitted by Nicky Henderson who has an excellent record in bumpers at this track. He may well prove that run to be all wrong but he faces a a more straightforward rival here who represents a good yardstick. OR DE VASSY was runner at Towcester to a rival who ran in the Champion bumper last week and then found a previous winner too good at Taunton. He was 10L clear of the third that day and that suggests makes him the one to beat. Crucial Role looks a better option to make the frame than either of the newcomers.
