2/9

Point winner who made a successful start under Rules in Cheltenham bumper. Changed hands for £140,000 and looked useful when an easy scorer on hurdles bow at Ayr. Ground a possible excuse at Kelso.

Forecasts

Burn The Evidence (2/9), Nora The Xplorer (10/3), Oot Ma Way (5/1), The Player Queen (8/1), Ripplet (50/1), West Lawn (125/1), Shantou Boudicca (200/1)

BURN THE EVIDENCE jumped superbly for a hurdles debutante when an easy winner at Fairyhouse 11 days ago and looks the way to go under a penalty. Nora The Xplorer and The Player Queen have also won over hurdles and will ensure this isn't one-way traffic.
