Horse A-Z
Placed in an Irish maiden point-to-point she showed some ability on her debut last year eventually finishing 6th after paying for a big move into contention. Failed to improve on that run next time and now returns after a break.

Twice seen in Lingfield AW bumpers she wasn't seen to best effect first time when not settling and being left poorly placed (only beat two home). Her next run didn't show anything more but suspicion she's capable of better given her background.

8/11
One of two runners for the yard in this and although she's been beaten at short prices on both her starts she has shown ability and promise. She still looked inexperienced at Wetherby when last seen and better is expected on her third run.
Yard are 0/14 with their bumper runners in the last five years so it's hard to expect much from this one with the rider having his first ride under Rules.

Started at huge prices on her two runs to date and well beaten on both occasions. Hard to recommend on what she's shown so far.

Half-sister to a couple of fair hurdlers who cost €10,000 as a three-year-old. Yard have a decent record here and are 8/35 in bumpers this year so she has to have her chance respected.

Well held on both her starts so far separated by a 10-month break. Took a very strong hold last time and others much preferred here.

Well beaten on her debut at Wetherby when with John Weymes she now has her first run for her new yard. Half-sister to three Flat winners so there may be more to come but can only be watched for now.

Forecasts

It's O Kay (8/11), Dollys Destination (9/4), Whiteoak Fleur (6/1), Jumbo Davis (7/1), Foxtrot Juliet (12/1), Miss Hamda (20/1), Danced Every Dance (25/1), Yalla Habibti (33/1), Madam Scully (40/1), Roberttown Rose (50/1)

Verdict

Trainer Olly Murphy holds a strong hand here with two legitimate claims for this race the strongest looking to be IT'S O KAY who has been beaten twice as a short-priced favourite but hasn’t done anything wrong at all and she should know more this time. The same could be said for Murphy’s other contender Foxtrot Juliet although the debutante Jumbo Davis is preferred as the one to chase home the likely market leader. Whiteoak Fleur also comes from a yard that do well in this sphere as she’s worth a market check with most of the others looking to fall short of the form to be able to take this.
  1. It's O Kay
  2. Jumbo Davis
  3. Foxtrot Juliet
