A large field goes to post for this bumper and the market may prove the best guide as to what is expected but the principals look to be Rambling Minster, Alcopop and Simply Stunning and we will take a chance on the last named. The filly by Primitive Rising is from a yard that has a good record in this sphere and she is sure to know her job and she could be the value in a wide open affair. Rambling Minster rates the main danger he was a good second behind Thyne For Intersky on his debut and is sure to have learnt from the experience. Alcopop is also from a yard that does well in this sphere and this gelding by Alderbrook is worth noting in the market. Dark Character was a good sixth behind Classic Native at Aintree last time and he could go well despite having to give weight all round so we are happy to stick with Simply Stunning.
