There is no form for backers to go one for this bumper and what can only be a tentative vote goes to Call The Shots, who gets the vote ahead of Jorveybrook and Major Malarkey. The last mentioned is a Supreme Leader gelding trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies who could hardly have his team in better form than at present. Henrietta Knight also has her string in good form so her runner The Vicar, who is by Bob Back, has to be respected. Terimon filly Don't Tell Louie and the Turtle Island gelding Fernandina are others to consider along with the Nicky Richards-trained Jorveybrook, who is by Alderbrook. The vote though goes to Jonjo O'Neill's Call The Shots, a Supreme Leader gelding, who could be good enough to make a winning start to his career.
