Black Sam Bellamy filly. Dam, made frame in points, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Bags Groove.
|
Fame And Glory mare who was a shade too keen when fourth in a Bangor bumper just over 3 weeks ago. Could have more to offer with that under her belt.
|
Blue Bresil filly. Dam (h115), bumper/2m/2¾m hurdle winner, closely related to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 23f) Tidal Flow. Has had a wind op. Notable newcomer.
|
Blue Bresil filly who shaped promisingly first time up when runner-up in a Fontwell bumper in May 2021. Failed to see things out at Ludlow 3 weeks later and having left Nicky Henderson since, she's tough to fancy returning from an 18-month absence. Had wind op and tongue tie applied.
|
Soldier of Fortune filly who caught the eye when fourth over C&D just over 8 weeks ago, shaping well from much too far back the way things went. Sure to improve markedly from that effort, she's a must for the shortlist.
|
€80,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Scarborough Lily. Dam, ran 3 times on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Red Admiral.
|
Fair form in pair of French bumpers, best effort when second at Pau (12f) in December for Nick Littmoden. Probably needed the outing on yard debut at Haydock in May but now has another absence to overcome. Had wind op and a tongue tie is applied.
|
Masterofthehorse filly who was better positioned than most in finishing placed first time up at Southwell back in June. Has joined a top yard and she's certainly worth a second look.
|
Black Sam Bellamy filly. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.
|
40,000 gns 4-y-o, No Risk At All filly. Half-sister to numerous winners on Flat, including smart French 7.5f/1m winner Yorktown. Dam 7f-1¼m winner in France. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 21). Of obvious interest on debut.
|
£20,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson filly. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 25f) Mount Benbulben. Weakening in fourth when fell last sole start in points (May 2).
|
€46,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson filly. Half-sister to useful bumper winner Rapid Escape and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Nicolas Chauvin.
|
Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Rose To Fame. Dam (h120), bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner, sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Twelve Roses.
|
£40,000 4-y-o, Shirocco filly. Dam, placed in Irish points, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Dark Room. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 28).
|
Blue Bresil filly. Dam, ran once in bumper, half-sister to smart bumper winner/smart hurdler (2m winner) Montbazon and fairly useful hurdler (stays 2¾m) Valleres. Newcomers from yard often fancied.
|
Telescope filly. Dam (h107), placed in French hurdles, half-sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Sizing John.
|
Positive start when third at Southwell in May and similar form when filling that same position on her next couple of starts, latest on return at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Sets the standard of those with experience.
|
Shirocco filly. Sister to fair winning staying hurdler Don Brocco. Hood on already and market can guide expectations.

Forecasts
Mollie Brown (10/3), Walk Of No Shame (6/1), Fortune Forever (15/2), On Se Calme (8/1), Rose And Thistle (8/1), Smurfette (9/1), Pollyonesock (10/1), Our Nel (11/1), Spice Heaven (14/1), Magistra Equitum (16/1), Blackhorse Lady (25/1), Blue Anchor (25/1), Harthill (33/1), Shiroccosmagicgem (40/1), Anne Bonny (40/1), Whisperonthewind (50/1), Ilary De L'Ecu (50/1), Blue Heaven (150/1)
Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for FORTUNE FOREVER. Fergal O'Brien's filly caught the eye when finishing a staying-on fourth over C&D in September and with that outing under her belt, she's fancied to get the job done with considerable progress on the cards. Walk Of No Shame heads up the dangers of those with experience, while Smurfette, Rose And Thistle and Our Nel all make plenty of paper appeal.
