SIMONE is a promising mare on paper (a half-sister to Simonsig), but really ought to be taking this contest with relative ease if she has any real aspirations of recouping the majority of her owners £105,000 investment (June 2017) in time. She doesn't even need to better her latest C&D effort, beaten ½L by Canny Style, as a reproduction of that form alone should be good enough to take this contest. Of the others Northern Beau represents an excellent young trainer, but she also appears costly enough at £68,000 out of the Irish point-to-point scene, whilst Tokaramore has demonstrated in bumpers that she should have a reasonable future against her own sex over hurdles once she's back to full racing fitness.
