Not masses of obvious strength in-depth but it remains early days for a number of these mares over timber. One can be pretty much guaranteed a run for their money with the consistent Off The Hook, so with her trainer Nick Alexander in fine form last weekend she rates as an obvious place contender. We've probably not witnessed the best of either Peters Cousin or Harrisons Promise and it'll come as no major surprise if either steps forward a notch or two. However, preference is for the more obvious form horses Bee Crossing and SEA STORY, with the latter named of that pair just about setting the benchmark for her ten rivals.
