Wide-margin winner of a similar contest at Wetherby in November, though that race has not worked out well. Could be a tough call to defy a penalty but clearly not ruled out.
Too little encouragement in three bumper runs to date to be able to recommend her today.
Failed to trouble the scorers in the sales ring, but nice enough pedigree and represents a yard that has yard bumper winners here, so a market check is advised.
Lovely jumps pedigree and likely that whatever she achieves here she will do much better over further and with obstacles in front of her. Yard in good form, though not had bumper winner here for several years. Again, a market check is called for.
Stable has had just one bumper winner in the past five seasons. This one is by a good jumps stallion and has the champion on board, though we have few other clues to go on and the betting is your best guide to her chance.
Won a point-to-point on testing ground and has very recently joined current yard from Donald McCain, who had bought him for £82,000 at the sales last year. One of the more likely types for today and enters calculations.
By Sulamani, who sired Grand National winner Rule The World, so a stiffer test than this is likely to suit in time. Yard in good form and this is its first bumper runner here so this is another to keep an eye on in the market.
Twice beaten by Shearling in similar contests at Wetherby, that is still good form in the contest of this race. She is proven in the forecast conditions and she may now be able to make the most of her age allowance with those experiences under her belt.
Modest purchase by a sire of jumps winners and a first National Hunt runner for her trainer. Not laden with stamina in her pedigree and on this ground she looks vulnerable first time.
Forecasts
Petticoat Tails (8/13), Molly The Dolly (7/2), Passing Call (5/1), Mac Bella (16/1), Min Tiky (16/1), Pourquoi Moi (20/1), Lerichi Belle (28/1), Sparkling Dawn (33/1), Amble Inn (66/1)
Petticoat Tails is very much respected under a penalty and in a weak affair, but we will chance PASSING CALL, in receipt of over a stone, to get it right at the third time of asking. Molly The Dolly and Mac Bella are others to consider, while a wider market check is always advised in races such as this.
1. Passing Call
2. Petticoat Tails
3. Mac Bella
