Cushy Lady²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Wintle

€40,000 3yo; second foal from the bumper/2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Golden Sunbird; County Kildare trainer Peter Fahey's first ever Worcester runner (also due to saddle Bathiva at Stratford on Tuesday).

Nella Fantasy

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J Scott

10/1

Second foal from a moderate dam (unplaced between 5f and 1m4f) who was a half-sister to the 2m-2m3f hurdle winner Princess Moodyshoe; others readily preferred.

Form:

Vinnie's Icon³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: C J Gray

20/1

Point placed; only modest form in bumpers to date and would've already made her hurdles debut at Newton Abbot but for a late abandonment. Plan 'B' is for a final spin in a weak looking bumper.

Twice a runner-up in 2m1½f Fontwell bumpers (races which were spread over a nine-month period); headed over a furlong from home when beaten 3L by Book Of Intrigue three weeks ago.

Forecasts

Jinsha (7/4), Malina Ocarina (7/2), Winter Holiday (4/1), Perfectly Honest (17/2), Squaw Vallee (10/1), Nella Fantasy (14/1), Candy Lou (20/1), Vinnie's Icon (20/1), She's Blorenge (50/1), Onestepatatime (100/1), No Frontier (100/1), Atlantic Sunshine (150/1), Cushy Lady (150/1)

A perfectly winnable mares' bumper. Of those with experience, the likes of Malina Ocarina and Winter Holiday have shown the most promise, with the former expected to benefit immeasurably for her Newton Abbot third to The Swagman. Perfectly Honest is an interesting newcomer for Donald McCain, although it is surprising that stable jockey Brian Hughes doesn't take the mount. Therefore, with a degree of confidence (could be further strengthened with sustained market support) the Irish-raider JINSHA gets the vote for the County Kildare-based handler Peter Fahey. Over the past five seasons, Fahey is 2-6 (33%) with his runners in GB bumpers.
