Verdict
£40,000 Beaumec De Houelle gelding. Yard only 1-40 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons but this one might lack depth so he's worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Verdict
€185,000 Harzand gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Arizona Cardinal and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Destroytheevidence. Makes obvious appeal for his top yard.

Verdict
£24,000 3-y-o, Highland Reel gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including French hurdler/chase winner Born To Honour. Dam 8.4f winner. The stable has had one finish second in a bumper this season so market support worth noting.

Verdict
€16,000 Doyen mare. Closely related to fairly useful hurdle winner/chaser Well Dick, and half-sister to fair hurdler Copperwell. Princess Day likely the yard first string unless the betting suggests otherwise.
