Kimberley Eve^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

10/3

Placed on two of her three bumper outings but it's only modest form and she looks vulnerable to some interesting Rules debutants.

Form: 203

Pure Theatre²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: T Scudamore| T: D E Cantillon

3/1

Closely related to 4 winners and was doing her best work at the finish when fourth at Southwell on debut. Entitled to build on that, so can't be dismissed.

Form: 4

Treefinch⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

22/1

Half-sister to bumper winner Hillfinch and 4/1 for her debut at Hereford 77 days ago. Didn't show a great deal, but could show more with her stable in good order.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Pure Theatre (3/1), Coin Basket (10/3), Kimberley Eve (10/3), Famous Function (4/1), Sharp Note (7/1), Treefinch (22/1), Value Till Dawn (28/1), Catwalk Swagger (33/1)

FAMOUS FUNCTION makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and has already set a solid platform in points, so she's a straightforward selection to make a winning start under Rules. Fellow ex-pointer Coin Basket should pose a threat, while Pure Theatre seems the pick of those with bumper form.
