Pendle Capital "Point-To-Point" Bumper Standard NH Flat Race (Amateurs') (Cat 1 Elimination) (GBB)

Stoutly bred 5yo who is 3-4 in British points, albeit he beat only one rival in a hunt members' contest last month; evidently has significant ability but may find this an inadequate stamina test.

Out of a bumper winner and bettered his debut effort when pipping Magna Patch in good-ground point bumper at Sandon last month; enters calculations.

Made the frame in two Irish points last year and drew 4l clear to win 14-runner Cothelstone maiden (good ground) on British debut two months ago; pedigree offers hope this shorter trip will suit; a possible.

Flat-bred 5yo who won soft-ground maiden point at Kingston Blount by 12l in February and was close second of four behind Amatchmadeinheaven on rules debut at Exeter (good to firm) the following month; better off at the weights with that rival here; no surprise if he features.

Out of a well-connected and useful French Flat winner; second of four in a point bumper on debut in March but managed only fifth of nine at Bitterley last month; not the most obvious answer.
