Horse A-Z
Showed a bit more than on her debut when fifth of 8 at Newcastle recently, but there wasn't sufficient promise in that effort to suggest that she'll be a force here.

Performed to what was probably a poor level on last month's debut in an AW bumper and she's readilly passed over.

Timeform
Decent jumps pedigree and there was some positives to glean from her Ffos Las introduction in November when sixth of 16 in the bumper won by Hidden Beauty. Likely to need a stiffer test in time.

Good pedigree and promising start when third in a 9-runner Lingfield bumper (2m, AW) last month. Hard to rate that form highly, but she will be a player nonetheless if able to build on that effort.

11/4
Out of a 23f hurdle winner, herself closely related to useful chaser (stays 27f) Silvergrove. Possible that she'll need more time and distance, but one to note in the betting all the same.

Timeform
Easy winner of an Irish maiden point on her introduction in October. Makes Rules debut at a realistic level and it will be very interesting to see which way she goes in the betting.

6/4
Went close on debut in 12.4f Wetherby bumper last month, a race she probably would've won but for hanging in the closing stages. Likely to make a bold bid, providing she copes with this stiffer test.

Forecasts

Bounce Back (6/4), Mistral Nell (11/4), Isle Of Rona (9/2), Valencia Borget (15/2), Missfit (11/1), Springar (18/1), Avec Permission (22/1), A Strip Of Amy (100/1), Tell Ell (200/1)

Verdict

Given the manner of her debut point-to-point success, VALENCIA BORGET is of strong interest starting out under Rules in a race lacking strength in depth. Stamina certainly won't be an issue for this 5-y-o, but there is a question mark in that respect where the speedily-bred Bounce Back is concerned, for all that she's the one to beat judged on her Wetherby near-miss. Missfit is best of the rest.

  1. VALENCIA BORGET (FR)
  2. BOUNCE BACK
  3. MISSFIT (IRE)
