Blinkered and hooded when landing 5-runner bumper at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) on debut in April. In need of the experience and given a considerate ride on hurdles bow in December. Will improve.

Point winner who looked useful when winning both bumper starts in the spring. Hasn't looked totally straightforward in finishing third all 3 starts over hurdles but she does set the clear standard.

Passing Glance sister to 4 winners and made the ideal start when landing an AW bumper at Lingfield. Held in stronger bumpers subsequently but pleasing start over hurdles when second at Wincanton.

Minor promise only for Henry De Bromhead and probably a long-term project for this yard.

Getaway mare who shaped as if needing the run when well held in bumper at Warwick on debut 26 days ago. Hooded and never on terms switched to hurdling. Tongue tie on.

Has shown a bit of her promise in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles and strikes as one who could do better, for all that may come switched to handicaps.

Forecasts

Credo (4/5), Finest View (15/8), Hana Collonges (9/2), Sweet Nightingale (12/1), Atjima (12/1), Melk Abbey (20/1), Hay There Mona (33/1), What A Pleasure (50/1), Chillabella (66/1), Start Point (125/1)

Verdict

FINEST VIEW made a promising start to her hurdles career when runner-up at Wincanton, and as a bumper winner from a successful family, she can build on that and perhaps improve by form-pick Credo. Hana Collonges will likely show a lot more this time and is best of the rest.
