This is an interesting bumper. MIDNIGHT JUKEBOX beat a now useful hurdler when winning his point last spring and gets the nod to make a successful start to his Rules career. Fellow point winner Smokehouse, Dan Skelton's new recruit Brecharnon, a Chepstow winner last spring, and Eclat de Marvel, who went off at a single-figure price for his debut in a Cheltenham listed bumper, head the dangers in a race where the betting is likely to provide more clues.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Eclat De Marvel might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Ka Mate Du Brivet are going to come into things.
