Built up a big lead when winning a similar event at Plumpton on penultimate outing, beating Baddesley, but well behind the same rival at Fontwell after a break recently. Bit to prove after that, for all she should strip fitter.
Well held on both starts (for Paul George), but had a breathing operation in between, and did make some lates headway from a poor position at Worcester last time, so not all negative.
Stablemate of Constance de Champ, who failed to complete in a point-to-point, and was tongue tied when clipping heels and falling in a weak Newton Abbot bumper in August.
Full-sister to useful hurdler Samarquand and half-sister to smart chaser Warriors Tale. Bred to need time, and yard's bumper runners generally need the education.
Dam won a bumper on her debut and this daughter of Oscar ran well when 6L second of 9 to Shantou Sunset in mares bumper at Fontwell. Likely to improve, and should go close.
Put up her best effort when 4L second of 11 to Subway Surf at Ludlow in January, but disappointing when odds on at Market Rasen in March, and needs her best form if she's to win here.
Presenting mare who was seemingly unfancied, but shaped well when ¾L third of 10 to Now Is The Winter in a maiden bumper at Stratford first time. Entitled to progress, and enters the reckoning.
Yeats filly who is closely related to The Milan Girl, a bumper winner earlier this year, from the family of useful hurdler Chablais. Top stable 3-13 in bumpers here in last five seasons.
Dylan Thomas half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Florrie Knox and fair hurdler Forest Silver. Yard 0-15 in bumpers in recent years, and this filly looks one for the longer term on paper.
Much her best effort to date when sixth of 8 to Crystal Gazing in mares bumper at Worcester last time. Doesn't make much appeal on that form.

ARCTIC ROSE has a smashing pedigree, and hails from a yard adept at readying one for bumpers, so is hard to oppose in the absence of market information. Sabrina is another newcomer who makes above-average appeal, with Libbdan and Madam Malina making most appeal of those to have raced before.
