11/2, not seen to best effect when sixth of 8 on Fontwell debut last September, forced wide home turn and not unduly punished. Potential improver for yard who do well in this sphere.
|
Lucarno mare. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Lieutenant Miller, and half-sister to modest hurdler Call Me Freddie. Yard wouldn't be a regular source of winning bumper debutantes.
|
Well-related mare who offered plenty to work on when third at Worcester on debut in April. That experience won't have been wasted on her and she's worth considering here.
|
Made appeal on paper but shaped as if badly in need of the experience when well held ninth of 15 in a Huntingdon bumper for Alan King back in 2019. Makes belated return for new yard now.
|
Schiaparelli mare. Half-sister to 7 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Twelve Roses and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Cinderella Rose. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.
|
£10,000 Fame And Glory half-sister to fair hurdler The Accountant. Stable has a healthy 18% strike-rate in bumpers. Interesting newcomer.
|
Blue Bresil filly who shaped promisingly first time up when runner-up in a Fontwell bumper earlier this month, ridden 2f out and keeping on. Big player with prospect of more to come.
|
Fair Mix filly. Dam unraced out of bumper winner/modest hurdler (3m winner) Powerlove. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse bow.

Forecasts
Blue Heaven (2/1), Malaita (3/1), All The Glory (3/1), Vermillion Rose (11/2), Div Ine Tara (11/1), Nanny May (14/1), Mattie Ross (16/1), Tiffany Rose (25/1), Motherslosttheplot (40/1), Owenriff Pearl (100/1), Madam Miller (125/1)
BLUE HEAVEN showed plenty of ability when runner-up on debut in a Fontwell bumper 3 weeks ago and a repeat here should see Nicky Henderson's filly firmly in the mix once more. Malaita, who similarly shaped well on debut, is feared, along with Kim Bailey's newcomer Vermillion Rose who makes plenty of appeal on paper.
