9/4
Shaped as if in need of further when finishing sixth on debut at Wincanton in December. That effort came on softer ground and likely to appreciate the better ground forecast here.

6/4
Purchased for £80,000 following a point-to-point success in Ireland in November. The runner-up on that occasion has placed in a bumper since and she represents top connections here. Wears a tongue tie for this rules debut.

20/1
Unraced daughter of Malinas and a half-sister to moderate mare Jaunty Clementine. Yard have had just one bumper winner from 27 runners in recent seasons.

20/1
Ran well in an AW bumper on debut when finishing an 11L fourth. Disappointed on soft ground subsequently and likely best watched in this contest.

Monrocco
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-9| J: M Hamill(5)| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls
4/1
Unraced daughter of Shirocco. Half-sister to dual winner Return Flight (placed in a bumper on rules debut) and represents a yard with a 16% strike-rate (21/130) in bumpers in recent years.

7/1
Unraced daughter of Sageburg out of a mare who's a half-sister to three black-type performers. Yard out of form recently (0/10) and market support would be interesting on her debut.

40/1
Beaten 72L on debut over an extended 1m7f (soft) at Southwell a month ago. Likely to be racing on better ground here but much more needed here.

Forecasts

If You Say Run (6/4), Drinks Interval (9/4), Momella (5/2), Monrocco (4/1), Rouergate (7/1), Jaunty Soria (20/1), Lady Vitesse (20/1), Celer Et Audax (33/1), Sally Sparrow (40/1)

Verdict

IF YOU SAY RUN looks likely to prove hard to beat on her debut under rules. The mare was successful in a fast time on her point-to-point debut at Ballinaboola in November with a subsequent bumper-placed mare back in second that day. Fellow point-to-point winner Momella can claim second in this contest following two outings in that sphere with Drinks Interval taken to step up on her December debut by finishing third today.
