8/13

It's Gino mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Fantastikas and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Quarenta. Off mark in points at fourth attempt (Feb 2022). Makes obvious appeal on paper for leading stable.

Excelebration mare. Half-sister to fair French hurdler Bolt of Lightning. 40/1, pushed along and behind when when slipping up on bumper debut at Punchestown (2m) in January and best watched on back of that.

3/1

Sholokhov mare. Half-sister to bumper winner Silver Breeze. 4/1, second of 15 in bumper at Thurles (16.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 22 days ago, running on. In excellent hands and feasible to think she can build on that.

Forecasts

Cuta Des As (8/13), Silver Lark (3/1), Charity Barnum (13/2), Leahs Tricks (9/1), Im Here Now (12/1), Sunshine Girl (16/1), Forza Angelina (25/1), Noble Annys (33/1)

Successful on her only start in points, CUTA DES AS makes plenty of appeal on paper representing a very powerful stable and she could be the way to go on bumper debut. Silver Lark, who shaped well first time up in a Thurles bumper 3 weeks ago, is feared most, ahead of Charity Barnum.
