Half-brother to smart Thyme White; nearly won a Cheltenham Listed bumper in January and won two of his other three starts in that scene; the horse he beat cosily here in April created a very strong impression on his recent hurdling debut; this 4yo is held in high regard and his yard has bossed this race in recent times.

Half-brother Thyme White is smart over jumps for these connections; made winning debut in the fog at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) and performed even better when a close second of 14 in Listed event at Cheltenham (1m6f, soft) a month later; should have no problem with this longer trip; big shout. |

With a Northern Irish yard when runner-up in a bumper at Stratford and later changed hands for £35,000; from off the pace he never remotely threatened Matterhorn's promising stablemate Meatloaf at Wincanton but it was a nice run; probably wants further but has solid claims if he can improve again. |

Some promise in bumpers and it was a similar story on his hurdling debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; should be a lot sharper for that first run for 328 days and it would be no surprise to see him figure for yard which also saddles How Will I Know. |

Favourite for both his bumpers late in 2021, showing up well for a long way here but soundly beaten at Warwick five weeks later; he's in good hands, seemingly well regarded, and his dam was a very useful jumper, so he must be considered now sent over hurdles. |
12/1 |
