Down the field in 2 bumpers for Lucinda Russell so a big step forward required on this switch to hurdling.

8/15
Fairly useful bumper winner who showed plenty when runner-up first 2 outings over hurdles. Failed to capitalise on what had looked a very good opportunity at Fontwell last time but still sets the standard.

Runner-up in a point bumper and shaped with some encouragement when fifth in a bumper at Cheltenham in October. Effort flattened out at Doncaster but offered something to work on sent hurdling when third at Warwick (2m) last month.

Bumper winner who went backwards from hurdling debut on first run since leaving Anthony Charlton when fifth of 6 in maiden at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) last week. Significantly down in trip.

9/1
Fair bumper winner last season who offered something to work on starting out over hurdles when fifth in mares' novice company at Lingfield (2m) back in December. However, disappointed over C&D 4 months later.

5/1
Easy winner of sole outing in points but ran to only a modest level when sixth of 9 in Newbury bumper (16.3f, soft) on Rules debut 37 days ago. Could do much better now hurdling.

Forecasts

Navajo Indy (8/15), Northern Air (5/1), The Northernlights (15/2), Golden Millie (9/1), Coin Basket (11/1), Inside I'm Dancin (40/1), Fort Lauderdale (50/1), Meraki Mist (80/1), Far Away West (150/1), Admiral Fitz (200/1)

Verdict

The fact NORTHERN AIR made her Rules debut in a Newbury bumper suggests her connections must hold her in quite high regard and, although she ran to only a modest level, a lot better can be expected on this switch to hurdling. Standard setter Navajo Indy is an obvious threat, while The Northernlights makes most appeal of the remainder.
