11/1

Shirocco mare. Dam bumper/fairly useful 17f-21f hurdle winner (stayed 25f). Stuck to her task pretty well when third at Plumpton (17.8f) a month ago. Slight drop in trip won't be in her favour.

66/1

£9,000 3-y-o, Shirocco mare. Dam fair bumper winner but she showed little herself at Market Rasen last month.

€35,000 3-y-o, Mahler mare. Dam, modest hurdler (19f winner), half-sister to smart hurdler (stays 2½m) Brandy Love out of fairly useful 2m hurdler Bambootcha. Placed both starts in British points and since transferred to a successful yard.

Realta Liath⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex

2/1

Purchased for £100,000 after easily winning sole Irish point and plenty to like about her third at Plumpton on Rules debut in December. Matched that form in a better race at Ascot 2 months later and she sets the standard.

Forecasts

Railway Bell (2/1), Realta Liath (2/1), Springtime Legend (8/1), Arctic Angel (10/1), O'Malley (11/1), Damekap (11/1), Hurley Girly (11/1), Blacksambelle (25/1), Flyover (33/1), Little Storm (50/1), Lady Showtime (66/1), Diamond Dusty (150/1)

Those with Rules experience don't set the bar too high so RAILWAY BELL, who laid a solid foundations in British points and represents a successful yard, could be the answer. Realta Liath is sure to be thereabouts, with Damekap another to note.
