Maxios mare. Dam lightly raced in bumpers out of fair hurdle winner around 2m (stayed 21f) Water Stratford, from family of useful staying chaser Betty's Boy. Could have a say in proceedings on debut.

£75,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Sister to fairly useful chaser Changing The Rules, and half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Feeling The Love. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt (Nov 2025). Plenty to like on paper.

Successful on sole start in Irish points (Apr 2024) and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests starting out under Rules in a tongue strap when fourth in 7-runner bumper at Ayr (2m, heavy) in January. Entitled to improve.

Forecasts

Emiko (6/4), Myfriendcooper (16/5), Bredas Pearl (4/1), Lady Bam (11/2), Lady Bamburgh (14/1), Abbotrule (14/1), Imstrawberryblonde (50/1), Little Ruby (100/1)

Verdict

Successful Irish point winner EMIKO hails from a stable going through a good spell with its bumper horses, so she's put forward as the answer in a race where those with previous Rules experience don't set the bar too high. Lady Bam and Bredas Pearl are other likely types on paper who warrant close market attention.

  1. Emiko6/4
  2. Lady Bam11/2
