Verdict

A very useful contest. MAMBONUMBERFIVE took really well to fences at Aintree and gets the nod to make light of a 5 lb rise. Bluey and Secret des Dieux are other promising first-time-out chase winners who should have more to offer, while Captain Bellamy has the profile of one likely to go on to better things over fences.

1	Bumper/dual hurdle winner who looks to have a bright future over fences judged on his opening success in Kempton novice handicap 6 weeks ago. A 7 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold bid. 2nd Pick 1 Bluey (Ire) Jockey: Gavin Sheehan Trainer: Emma Lavelle J: Gavin Sheehan T: Emma Lavelle	97	-	-	-	25%

5	Dual hurdle winner who struck at the first time of asking over fences in 4-runner Fakenham novice handicap last month.
