Mahler mare. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Skorcher and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3½m) Are Ya Right Chief. Noteworthy newcomer.

16/1

Dschingis Secret mare. Half-sister to 3 winners on Flat, including 1m-10.6f winner abroad Kings of Leon. Dam unraced. Has come in third on both her starts in point bumpers, latest in March. One to consider.

7/2

Blue Bresil filly showed some promise when third of 6 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good to firm, 6/1) on her NH debut 38 days ago. Can build on it here. Well in the mix.

Form: 3-

Forecasts

Our Rollo (3/1), Windsor Blue (7/2), Eddie My Eagle (9/2), Just Johnny (5/1), Lord Cauvelliere (8/1), Maid Of Mist (11/1), My Lovely Horse (16/1), Bus Stop (16/1), Foxburrows Friend (16/1), Pay Dirt (80/1)

A few with chances but this could go the way of LORD CAUVELLIERE who landed a point bumper last month and can follow up here at the chief expense of Georgina Nicholls' newcomer Our Rollo. Windsor Blue and Eddie My Eagle both enter calculations too.
