Verdict

Fascinating Mares' maiden with the form of a Lingfield bumper in January coming to the fore. The Hughie Morrison-trained FAR CRY finished 1½L behind winner Ceara Be in the race with Oriental Flame ¾L back in fourth, both will be looking to improve on those starts with Nicky Henderson's Simonia who was back in sixth. The runner-up in the Lingfield contest, Buildmeupbuttercup has come out to win an Ascot bumper last month.
