Bonbon Rose half-brother to a 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner in France, out of a winning pointer, herself half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Barcelona. Yard has a poor strike rate in bumpers.
Won a point bumper, and scored on second start under Rules at Stratford last June for Joe Tickle. Has joined a yard with a fine record in similar events, and has leading claims on paper.
Morozov gelding with a moderate pedigree. Pulled up in a point-to-point in November before joining current connections, and makes limited appeal on paper.
Full-sister to fairly useful hurdler Mac Tottie out of Tot of The Knar, a useful winner over hurdles for these connections. Yard 11/66 in similar events in last five seasons.
Cheap purchase who was seventh of 12 to Who What When in fillies junior bumper at Newbury in December. Will be suited by this stiffer test, but has plenty to find on form.
Forecasts
Lily The Pink (11/10), Mo Tottie (2/1), Eglantier (7/2), Into The Mist (16/1), Oldabbey Bridge (40/1)
LILY THE PINK has plenty of experience, including when winning a point-to-point bumper, and should have too much know-how for newcomer Mo Tottie. Into The Mist didn't shape too badly on debut, and is worth a second look.
