10/11, confirmed debut promise when won 13-runner bumper at Sligo (18.4f, good to soft) 38 days ago, travelling strongly. Should be capable of better still and looks a major player.

4/6

Promising type. Won 15-runner bumper at Punchestown (16.6f, good, 6/1) on NH debut 40 days ago by 9½ lengths from Fillusin, forging clear. Looks well above average and worth a chance to defend her unbeaten record.

Forecasts

Savante (4/6), Ellen Kelly (2/1), Fillusin (7/1), Eaglewood (14/1), Ida Picked Her (16/1), Shining Silver (16/1), Parga Diamond (20/1), Light Of Life (25/1), Beckley Love (28/1), Amboyna (40/1), Barnahash Arch (40/1), Hillhead Runner (50/1), Light Her Up (66/1), Vilja Song (66/1), Ill Raise A Glass (66/1), Eve's Hope (125/1), Highway Princess (150/1)

SAVANTE forged clear in the style of a talented mare at Punchestown and she's an obvious choice to go in again for all that Ellen Kelly was impressive in her own right last time. The remainder will all need to find improvement but Fillusin looks a solid place proposition.
