13/2

From a good family and showed a bit when fourth at Ayr 43 days ago. Open to improvement and could make her presence felt.

Form: 4

33/1

€11,500 3-y-o, Mahler filly. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Notachance. Dam point winner. Will probably need more time.

Holly Bird

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson

11/2

Mount Nelson filly. Dam unraced, closely related to top-class hurdler/very smart chaser (winner up to 21f) Oscar Whisky. Would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in her favour.

Form:

Ice Day

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: I JardineWS

22/1

€55,000 3-y-o, Walzertakt mare. Closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Hawai Tree in France. Dam 17f hurdle winner in France. One to take seriously on debut.

Just Call Me Lucy⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

9/2

Related to a point winner and shaped with some encouragement when fourth in a bumper at Aintree 49 days ago. Should step forward from that, so looks a big player.

Unsinkable Molly B²⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

1/1

Second of 13 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, soft, 4/1) on NH debut, going with enthusiasm. Merits plenty of respect after 8 months off.

Forecasts

Unsinkable Molly B (1/1), Cool Lady Too (3/1), Just Call Me Lucy (9/2), Holly Bird (11/2), Golden Point (13/2), Alltheroadrunning (10/1), Ice Day (22/1), Hey Mama Rock Me (33/1)

UNSINKABLE MOLLY B travelled strongly when second in a bumper at Wetherby 8 months ago and there's some scope for her to improve with the benefit of that initial experience, so she's narrowly preferred to Just Call Me Lucy, who also made a pleasing start. Cool Lady Too is the pick of the newcomers on paper.
