€37,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Easy winner sole start in Irish points last December and shaped with some encouragement when third of 7 in novice hurdle (evens) at Lingfield (19.5f, good) on Rules debut 22 days ago. Step forward likely needed here, though.

£40,000 5-y-o, Affinisea mare. Half-sister to bumper winner Famous Saying and modest hurdler Tommy Dillion. Wears tongue strap. Runner-up both starts in Irish points in the spring and worth market check on Rules debut.
Timeform
Won sole start in points. Well backed runner-up in a Tipperary bumper and went one better on first start for new yard with a workmanlike success at Ffos Las last month. Showed aptitude for hurdling when second of 6 at Exeter 2 weeks later and she's open to progress.

Mighty Fleurv120
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR:  106
Runner-up on 5 of her 7 starts, including in an 8-runner novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, soft, 5/1) 20 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit and first-time visor is applied.

Timeform
Irish point winner shaped very well making her debut against the geldings when third of 6 in a novice hurdle at Warwick (21f, soft 4/1) 30 days ago, keeping on without being knocked about. Likely improver.

Forecasts

Sallyville Lady (11/4), Mighty Fleur (10/3), Future Bucks (7/2), Katie's Melody (11/2), Afancy Getaway (6/1), Coolanna (8/1)

Verdict

Dan Skelton's point winner SALLYVILLE LADY showed plenty to like when a close third on Rules debut at Warwick and she's fancied to build on that effort against her own sex. Future Bucks looks a formidable opponent having made a winning start for Jamie Snowden at Windsor last month and has to respected under a penalty, with five-time runner-up Mighty Fleur also considered with the longer trip in her favour.
