5/4

Authorized mare from the family of multiple Stayers' Hurdle winner Big Buck's and made a promising if belated debut fitted with a hood when second of 9 in Tramore bumper in May. Found only one too good again here (17f) since and sets the standard.

10/1

Affinisea mare. Pulled up sole start in Irish points but shaped with some encouragement for all that she didn't look the easiest of rides when third of 10 in 2m bumper at Kelso (2m) on Rules debut in early May. Proved too free at Bellewstown 8 weeks on.

Form: P-36

Walk In The Park mare. Closely related to smart hurdler Midnight Game. Showed ability despite doing too much too soon when fourth of 13 in bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) on debut in January but refused to race 6 months on at this course. Has to be treated with caution.

Form: 4-R

Forecasts

Cotswold Blue (5/4), The Ocean Queen (5/2), Ants Fantasy (10/3), Distraction (8/1), Treacys Ella (9/1), Speisialta (9/1), Silk Buds (10/1), Pit River (14/1), Bambi Fever (20/1), Bredas Pearl (33/1), A Quest For Cognac (33/1), Gusserane (33/1), Piper Street (40/1), Moses Sport (50/1), Dance Partner (150/1), Nancy Wheeler (200/1)

COTSWOLD BLUE has made an encouraging start to her career and is taken to make it third time lucky. The Ocean Queen ran out an easy winner on her second outing in points, so is an obvious one to note, while Pit River and Ants Fantasy are others to keep an eye on given the stables they represent.
