Horse A-Z
Yard were 5-11 in bumpers last season with this mare landing a gamble for them at Ludlow. That form did not amount to much and she was soundly beaten next time. Off the track since and not highly tried on return to action.

5/2
Has been patiently ridden only to find speedier types too good for her. This stiffer track will help but she may be vulnerable again.
3
Horse silk
50/1
Appeared to be struggling when falling on only point-to-point start when weak in the market. Stable are without a winner since June 2014.
Midnight Legend mare and a full-sister to jumps winner A Shade Of Bay. Soon in trouble on debut and soundly beaten. Hard to see her finding the necessary improvement so quickly.

Horse silk
80/1
Related to a point-to-point winner. Looks a long term project based on two modest performances in this class thus far.
Daughter of Shirocco and half-sister to Dan Skelton's dual winner Return Flight. Looked green on debut at Chepstow and jockey bookings indicate she is yard's second string.

6/4
Bought for €9,000 and is bred for stamina being by Yeats out of a mare who stayed 2m on the Flat and won 11 races under both codes. Well supported on debut but was tapped for speed by a Royal runner from the Henderson yard. Should be suited by this stiffer test and jockey booking makes her all the more interesting..

12/1
Daughter of Midnight Legend out of an unraced mare. Hood required on debut and top jockey comes for this one ride.

Forecasts

Rose Tree (6/4), Jubilympics (5/2), Mistress Massini (3/1), Zara's Reflection (12/1), You're A Lady (18/1), Monrocco (28/1), Katy May (50/1), Miss Malarky (80/1)

Verdict

Jubilympics, Mistress Massini and ROSE TREE have all been subject of solid support in this grade of event. Jubilympics has been ridden as though possessing a better turn of foot than has been evident so far. Mistress Massini did not have much to beat when scoring at Ludlow and it it possible that this is not much stronger. Her yard have a good record in this type of race and she is worth monitoring in the market. ROSE TREE receives a handy 11lb from Mistress Massini and that may be enough to tilt things in her favour. Pam Sly's charge found a more speedily bred type too good around Fakenham's tight turns. There is ample stamina in her pedigree and this stiff track plays to that strength.
