Formscan - Brave Ruler showed up well for a long way on his debut here, despite being sent off at 125/1, and he should be more streetwise with that experience under his belt. Jamie Snowden boasts a good strike-rate in bumpers this season, though, and MIDNIGHT VENTURE, whose dam was a dual heavy-ground bumper winner, gets the nod. Leech is likely to make his presence felt, while Andy Amo merits close inspection in the betting ahead of this racecourse bow.
