4/11

Kayf Tara mare who looked potentially useful in making a winning start in a Uttoxeter bumper before shaping well when second of 9 in novice at Worcester on her hurdles bow in October. Bit disappointing at Hereford a month later but given time off and this trip should suit. One to beat.

Form: 1-23

Treyarnon Bay²¹

10/3

Created a good impression when landing a mares' bumper on her yard debut at Southwell in May. Failed to meet expectations over hurdles so far but she's in top hands and now tries a new trip in a weak contest.

Forecasts

Blue Beach (4/11), Shelikesthelights (3/1), Treyarnon Bay (10/3), For Gina (14/1), Presenting Belle (18/1), Baya Lescribaa (33/1), Ruby's Pearl (33/1), Promiseduamiracle (125/1), Giveusacuddle (125/1)

BLUE BEACH was a bit disappointing at Hereford in November but she's been given a break since and her previous efforts suggest she's more than capable of winning a maiden against her own sex, especially one as thin as this. Treyarnon Bay is the main danger.
