20/1

Jet Away filly. Half-sister to modest chaser Valirann Gold. Will probably need more time but still warrants a market check.

11/1

Once-raced maiden. 9/4, fifth of 8 in bumper at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) on NH debut 34 days ago. Might prove a different proposition second time out.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Sattam (13/8), Jeu De Pic (9/4), Dee Capo (10/3), River Robe (8/1), Threesheetstodwind (11/1), Koo Star (20/1), Princess Fiadh (50/1), Dream Shaper (300/1)

JEU DE PIC is out of a French bumper winner and is the subject of a notable jockey booking, so he might be able to open his account at the first attempt. Sattam and Dee Capo have both achieved a fair level of form, so they should also be on the premises.
