Promising start when third of 13 in bumper at Ludlow (2m, soft) on debut. Similar form when second of 10 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) when last seen 7 months ago, Sets a good standard.

Form: 32-

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: L Morgan

7/2

Fame And Glory mare who showed something to work on when third at Market Rasen on debut 77 days ago. Likely to have learned plenty from that, so should improve.

15/2

Telescope filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/fair hurdler Sand Fly and bumper winner/fair 2m hurdle winner All Clenched Up. Bred to do well in this discipline and stable is capable of readying a debutant.

Forecasts

Ebonello (13/8), Sea Poem (7/2), Jimvale (15/2), Luna Aoife (15/2), Eddie Mush (9/1), Wotyoudunnow Buddy (12/1), Brian's Jet (18/1), Copper Dragon (18/1), Chase A Fortune (20/1), Daijoor (50/1), Haut Berry (125/1)

EBONELLO has shown fair form on both starts to date and should be sufficiently tuned up to make a winning return from 7 months off. Sea Poem is quite closely matched with the selection in terms of what's been achieved, so she's feared, while Luna Aoife strikes as an appealing newcomer.
