13/8

Left debut behind when winning a 12-runner event at Hereford (good) in March. Found a Grade 2 at Aintree all too much last month but player back in these much calmer waters.

Form: 610-

Delta Blues Belle¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Skelton

3/1

£70,000 buy after winning on the last of 3 starts in Irish points. Joined a top stable and market confidence likely significant.

Form: 331-

Georgie's Malt

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Ewan Whillans

11/1

Order of St George mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Master Malt and bumper winner Echo Springs. Some paper appeal so a betting check needed for a yard which gets the odd bumper winner.

Form:

Just Jane⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi

33/1

Well held in 2 Wetherby bumpers 4 months apart.

Form: 84-

Lipstick Traces²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: Justin Landy

10/1

22/1, beaten 11 lengths when second of 8 in C&D bumper (good) on debut 26 days ago.

Form: 2-

Loveatfirstglance⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson

9/4

Reached the frame in bumpers at Newcastle and Kelso this spring. Likely to be thereabouts again.

Forecasts

Celestron Star (13/8), Loveatfirstglance (9/4), Delta Blues Belle (3/1), Lipstick Traces (10/1), Georgie's Malt (11/1), Just Jane (33/1)

Irish point recruit DELTA BLUES BELLE gets the nod to make a winning start for Dan Skelton, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Hereford winner Celestron Star and Ruth Jefferson's Loveatfirstglance can give her most to do.
