Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

6/4

€78,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France Solariza and fairly useful French hurdler Solarina. Easy winner of a thin mares' bumper on debut in April and rates a good hurdles prospect for top yard.

Desert Fortune¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

12/1

£80,000 buy after easily winning her second start in Irish points in January. Nothing wrong with runner-up effort to Presenting A Queen in a bumper at Plumpton and bred to do well over hurdles as her stamina is drawn out.

Form: 212-

Fancy Your Chances²¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White

9/2

Showed plenty of ability when runner-up on debut at Ffos Las in November but didn't build on that as expected both starts since. Looks ready for this sort of trip now hurdling.

Form: 255-

Presenting A Queen¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

6/4

Runner-up in a point a year ago and useful form in a brace of bumpers during the spring, supplementing her Newbury success at Plumpton. Has the physique for jumping and she's a good prospect.

Form: 211-

Sister Sophie³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: Christian Williams

50/1

Just modest form in bumpers spread out over 15 months.

Form: 262-3

25/1

€5,500 3-y-o. Second foal, dam unraced. Pulled up both starts in points (latest Mar 12) and this is a tough Rules debut. Hooded.

Unplaced in 2 bumpers and well beaten on last month's hurdling debut at Market Rasen.

Presenting A Queen (6/4), Dancingontheedge (6/4), Fancy Your Chances (9/2), Desert Fortune (12/1), Campsie Linn (25/1), Sister Sophie (50/1), Copper Vale (80/1)

PRESENTING A QUEEN looked decidedly useful in bumpers during the spring and bred to excel over hurdles, she's a smashing prospect this season. Dancingontheedge outclassed the opposition on her debut and warrants serious respect.
