Eighth foal; half-brother to five winners including Go Dante (useful bumper and 2m/2m1f hurdle), Angel Of Harlem (useful 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase) and Little Miss Dante (bumper/2m hurdle); dam bumper/useful 2m-3m hurdle winner for this top stable; very appealing on paper.

Out of a dual bumper winner; bought for £60,000 after finishing second on Irish point debut in November (yielding ground), form that was boosted when the third won a bumper last month and ran well at Aintree on Saturday; must be considered.

Third foal; half-brother to bumper winner Cut The Rope; dam unplaced 6f 2yo (RPR 67), half-sister to a 6f winner; stable has some success in bumpers; market support will bring him into the equation.

Well beaten on last month's debut at Wetherby and probably flattered by proximity when fourth of five in slowly run race there ten days later; others have much stronger claims.

Displayed improvement when placed in soft-ground Irish point in January on third start, after which he was bought for £20,000; new trainer has modest strike-rate in bumpers; might be one for further down the line.
