Horse A-Z
Maiden pointer who defied odds of 20/1 to make a successful Rules debut in a Roscommon bumper. Well ridden that day and has left a top yard since, but can't be dismissed.

5/6
Won 12-runner bumper (10/3) at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 58 days ago, kept up to work to score with something to spare. Should put up a bold bid to defy the penalty.

Timeform
Doyen mare. Dam, showed nothing sole start in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 33f) Firebird Flyer. Others are more appealing.
|
Timeform
Not much promise in her debut fourth at Wetherby 7 months ago and looks the sort to develop further down the line.

17/2
Backed off the boards but held back by inexperience when last of 5 at Newton Abbot on debut last year, then showed a bit more when sixth to Queen of The Vale over C&D 58 days ago. Unlikely to turn that form around.
|
Timeform
Out of a winning chaser but there were few positives to be gleaned from her debut at Newbury 8 months ago. Has left Fergal O'Brien since.

Vadamos filly. Dam fairly useful 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Wears hood. Worth considering.

33/1
Telescope filly. Half-sister to useful 23f hurdle winner Doc Penfro, stayed 25f, and fair 3¼m hurdle winner/fairly useful staying chaser Juniper. Wears hood. Likely to need time and distance.

14/1
Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree but there was some encouragement in her debut sixth at Uttoxeter. Should build on that.

Forecasts

Queen Of The Vale (5/6), Ma Barker (9/2), Crazy About Her (11/2), Brionywells (13/2), Shakiyra (17/2), Versace Twentyone (11/1), Polly Pi (14/1), Heather Honey (20/1), Dancing Green (33/1), Beorma (50/1)

Verdict

QUEEN OF THE VALE made all in good style on debut here 2 months ago, showing an encouraging amount of speed for one bred to be suited by further, and she can defy a penalty. Versace Twentyone is a big player for a new yard, while Crazy About Her is a newcomer to note.
