28/1

Fifth of 7 in bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm, 14/1) 115 days ago, inadequate test. Likely to come up short until tackling obstacles up in trip.

Forecasts

Peerless Beauty (4/5), Lassue (9/2), Eleanor Dumont (9/2), Betty Getaway (5/1), Walk Of No Shame (7/1), Pepper Point (11/1), Dillarchie (12/1), Darsi's Darling (16/1), Shighness (22/1), Countess Olivia (25/1), Isla Diamonds (28/1), Sallagh (28/1), Tiger Spirit (100/1), Skiddaw Bramble (150/1)

Fergal O'Brien is enjoying a terrific season and he holds a strong hand with PEERLESS BEAUTY and Lassue. The latter won a point in the spring but the percentage call is the former given her promising run in a deeper bumper than this at Aintree. Betty Getaway and Eleanor Dumont are also interesting newcomers.
