6/1
Left debut form well behind when runner-up at 40/1 in an AW bumper at Newcastle but failed to back it up at the same track last time. Obvious claims if back on song.

No show in a trio of bumpers to this point, so easily opposed.

From a yard which is no stranger to bumper success and upped her form when second at Sedgefield late last year. Could do with another step forward to land this.

Achieved nothing in a couple of bumpers 15 months apart, so hard to envisage her taking a hand in this.

9/4
Cheap purchase who was well fancied but shaped like a non-stayer when fourth at Carlisle last month. This lesser test should suit, so could improve.

Forecasts

Roxanya (1/1), Pop The Champagne (7/4), Gazwah (9/4), Bella Bluesky (6/1), Memors (9/1), Stone Crossing (40/1), Milly On Air (50/1)

Verdict

POP THE CHAMPAGNE came from further back than ideal to make a winning start at Lingfield and, having been far from discredited at Newbury since, she's fancied to double her tally back against weaker opposition. The Stuart Crawford-trained pair of Roxanya and Gazwah look the chief threats.

  1. POP THE CHAMPAGNE (FR)
  2. GAZWAH (FR)
  3. ROXANYA (IRE)
