Dam, bumper winner, also 2m winner on Flat, sister to temperamental but useful hurdler/chaser Burtons Well and half-sister to high-class chaser Burton Port. Good jockey booking. Betting check needed.

Forecasts

Bardenstown Lad (7/4), Clay Rogers (11/4), Mahon Point (17/2), All Shell (9/1), Imminent Arrival (10/1), Jetoile (10/1), Prospered (11/1), Storm Hill (20/1), Whiskey For Jack (20/1), Oneeyedwillie (25/1), Sight Nor Seen (25/1), Broomfield Boy (28/1), Carry On Buddy (40/1), Hayloft Lad (50/1), Adamhill (66/1), Perrys Wood (66/1)

The level CLAY ROGERS has achieved when reaching the frame in a pair of maiden hurdles this year suggests he really ought to be capable of winning a race like this. Point winner Bardenstown Lad is an interesting opponent having joined John McConnell. Imminent Arrival and Prospered are newcomers to note in the betting.
