13/8
Fair form when placed in a bumper and going the right way over hurdles, opening her account in novice at Southwell 41 days ago. Has the best piece of form on offer and she's capable of following up.

Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat and off the mark at second attempt over C&D. Solid effort under a penalty at Catterick and another solid showing is on the cards.

€3,000 6-y-o, Scorpion mare. Maiden Irish pointer, third last time (Nov 24). Not without hope starting out for a good stable.

Some encouragement sole outing in bumpers and fair form on second start over hurdles when third in maiden at Navan (16f, heavy) in March. Hasn't gone on from it, including on debut for current yard.

Little to recommend her on pedigree and failed to beat a rival at Carlise on bumper debut.

Sister to bumper winner Benign Dictator, and half-sister to fair hurdler West Is Awake. Made a winning debut in a Ballinrobe bumper for Edmond Kent and bought for £90,000 since. That was over 2 years ago and she hasn't shown anything for current yard.

Posted best effort since tackling hurdles when third in the 12-runner handicap here (21.2f, good) won by Apples Moon. Reversed placings with that horse when career-best second at Catterick (19f, good) 18 days ago, attempted to make all and only headed in final 50 yds. Should go well again.

Forecasts

Jakana (13/8), Vanilla Dancer (13/8), Reel Rosie (5/2), Generous Scorpion (16/1), Ghidora (40/1), Worth The Walk (40/1), Royal Creek (50/1), Lazy Bones (66/1), Phillyscope (125/1)

Verdict

JAKANA is building up a solid profile and she hasn't reached her limit as yet, so she takes preference over fellow hurdles winner Reel Rosie. Generous Scorpion has shown ability in points and should be able to play a part.
