14/1

Promising type. 25/1, seventh of 15 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 18 days ago. Should improve, and a market move would very much bring her into the reckoning.

Forecasts

Walk In The Brise (6/4), Beyond Ambitious (15/8), Sunkist (13/2), Ballycashin (12/1), Hopeforarun (14/1), Cool Croi (16/1), Bridal Knot (25/1), Lady Stanwix (28/1), Ko Kate (33/1), In A Nice Way (33/1), Phils Choice (33/1), Lilmisschatterbox (33/1), Gone For Tea (50/1), Cassarina Gold (66/1), One Over The Top (150/1), Grey Heather (150/1)

There was seemingly no fluke about BEYOND ABITIOUS' much-improved second at Punchestown 17 days ago and, if she's in the same form, she should prove capable of going one better in this weaker race. Walk In The Brise is the biggest danger on form but Sunkist, who's sister and dam both won a bumper, might lay down the biggest challenge first time out.
