Has looked a typical bumper performer in the sense that she is crying out for a longer trip, but has run well in defeat twice nonetheless. Yard has an impressive 28% strike rate in this sphere and is in good form, so her chance is again much respected.

Runner-up in debut point-to-point and going well in another when falling two out in November. Stable's record decent in bumpers, although general form not quite so hot of late but this representative still looks capable of a nice start under rules.

Cost €50,000 as a three-year-old out of a half-sister to high class hurdle winner Afsoun and smart 2m-2m4f hurdler Agrapart, so plenty to like on pedigree. Last of 11 on the racecourse first-time out however and likely to need further education today.

Well beaten on debut last year, but her return run showed that the experience had not been wasted, running really well to finish a 4L second to the double-penalised and Aintree-bound Shearling at Catterick. Short-listed.

Stable doesn't run many over jumps and is 1-6 in this sphere in the past five seasons. This filly is a half-sister to a bumper winner out of a mare who was placed in this sphere and is a half-sister to a number of winners, including in bumpers. Market check advised for this debutante..

€15,000 purchase closely related to the 2m-2m5f chase winner Ixora and out of a 2m-2m5f French and British hurdle/chase winner. Sire has a 21% strike rate in bumpers, so this is an interesting newcomer, especially with the champion up.

5/2
Bred to get a trip, although dam is an unraced half-sister to decent 2m hurdle/chase winner Toubab and French Flat and 2m1f-2m3f hurdle/chase winner Narick. Another of interest on debut, especially from a yard going well and with a 24% strike rate in this discipline.
£11,000 yearling out of a mare who was unplaced from 1m2f- 1m5f in France and a half-sister to minor winners from 1m-1m2f. Yard not noted for bumper success and probably best watched.
Another to have finished runner-up to Shearling when beaten over 3L by that talented opponent at Wetherby in December. Now races for new yard that has a 17% strike rate in bumpers, though is not red hot at present.

Forecasts

Outofthisworld (5/2), Gvs Irportensa (11/4), Reine Des Miracles (11/2), Inch Lala (7/1), Jane Lamb (9/1), Floral Bouquet (9/1), Oscar Star (16/1), Agathe Rosalie (20/1), Westello (25/1), Rambling Queen (80/1)

Verdict

A decent contest of its type and while Gvs Irportensa is likely to be a warm order, preference is for FLORAL BOUQUET, who made a pleasing return at Catterick and can step up on that this time. Reine Des Miracles could go well, though there is a nagging doubt over the yard's form, while improvement should come from Westello and Agatha Rosalie and a marker check for Outofthisworld is advised.
