Second foal by Notnowcato out of the 6f-1m winner Harriet's Girl. Half-brother to 7f AW winner Mallymkun.
Fifth foal by Flying Legend out of and unraced dam (Pennant Princess). A half-sister to 2m5f-2m7f hurdle winner Pennant Dancer, and also point-to-point winner Soixante Six.
Second foal by Fair Mix out of a multiple point-to-point winner (No Virtue). Stable a most infrequent source of bumper winners, so safely ignored.
Second foal by Blue Bresil out of the French placed Flat mare Mascotte Du Maine. Cost €15,000 as a yearling, represents high profile owners and is set to be partnered by the champion jockey, so merits close inspection in the market.
13th foal who cost 15,000 gns as a yearling. By Sepoy out of a Generous mare (Generous Lady), she's a half-sister to seven winners including 2003 St Leger runner up High Accolade and the useful middle distance performer Oasis Knight.

Verdict

A newcomers bumper to conclude the card, and these races are best avoided unless privy to inside informative, so following the market is the best advice on offer. In the interim period, the likes of King's Temple, Esther Du Clos and CELSIANA appear the likeliest candidates. The selection receives weight from all of her rivals (age and fillies allowance), with the useful Thomas Greatrex taking a further valuable 7lb from her back. She has by far and away the classiest pedigree on offer, and makes her debut wearing cheek-pieces for a trainer who is far from a regular in these type of events (0 from 4 over the past five years).
