Selected odds by:
Shown plenty of ability over hurdles so far. Ran poorly at Towcester (2m3f, heavy) when last seen when held up and never involved on first run since having a wind op. Needs to bounce back carrying the penalty.
Not shown a great deal since switching to this yard. Again beaten a long way in a bumper at Kempton (2m, AW) last time. May improve at some stage but this trip also looks a worry on recent evidence.
Bought for £40,000 after winning a mares' maiden point-to-point in Ireland in February. Two disappointing efforts so far over hurdles but likely to do better at some stage.
Fair efforts in two bumpers back in 2016. Been off the track a long time since suggesting she's had issues. Had a wind operation since we last saw her and best watched for now.
Won a bumper at Plumpton last year but has struggled in two starts over hurdles so far. No better back in a bumper on the AW at Kempton last time and looks up against it once again.
Already shown plenty over hurdles especially when falling late on at Sandown on handicap debut. Set a tough task when beaten in a hot race at Newbury last time and should be much more suited by this today.
Beaten a long way in two bumpers. Had a break and makes hudling debut today. Needs to improve a lot for jumping.
Second in a point her only piece of real promise to date. Two quick runs on heavy ground at Towcester may not have been ideal and will be interesting to see how she perfoms today under these different conditions with cheek pieces added.
Bits of promise so far over hurdles. Very good chance we will see a bit more from her today on this better ground.
Not shown much on two career efforts. Both of those runs came on bad ground and it would be no surprise to see a bit more now racing on a better surface. Needs to improve to take a hand.
Bumper winner at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft). Disappointed on hurdles debut when sent off a 7/2 chance at Lingfield (2m, soft). Yard won this race with a smart mare last year and no surprise to see a much better showing from her today.
Ran well at a huge price on hurdles/yard debut here (2m4½f, good to soft) last month. Plenty to like about that and could get involved with some improvement.
Started joint-favourite for her point-to-point debut but faded quickly in the closing stages. Comes from a yard that have made a good start with a professional licence but disappointing how quickly she faded in her bumper run. Hurdles debut.
Sent off favourite for two of her bumper runs. Third on hurdles debut at Ludlow (2m, soft) when shaping like this step up in trip would suit. Plenty of stamina in her pedigree and in excellent hands so likely to come good at some stage.
Clearly has plenty of ability but also some quirks too. Beaten 4/11 favourite when second of only three runners at Exeter (2m2½f, Good) nearly a year ago. She was unruly on the way to post that day and needs to cut that out in first time hood.
Beaten a long way in bumpers. Jumped violently left at first hurdle on jumping debut and came down. Blinkers go on first time but risky.
Forecasts
Jet Set (7/4), Oscar Star (5/1), Mythical Legend (5/1), Simonia (7/1), Swatow (8/1), Shazzamataz (14/1), Rose Of Cimarron (20/1), Shoreline (40/1), Cloone Lady (50/1), Huntress (50/1), Dancecraft (50/1), Megaboost (66/1), Elegant (100/1), Cadeaux's Fire (100/1), Maggies Legend (150/1), Remember Me Well (150/1)
An interesting renewal of this mares event. Simonia is likley to come good sooner rather than later and is in good hands. The step up in trip looks a good move for her. Oscar Star needs to bounce back from her poor effort last time but may struggle to conceded the penalty. Jet Set should be suited by the drop in class and could go close but slight preference is for ROSE OF CIMARRON who is better than she showed on soft ground at Lingfield on her hurdling debut and comes from a yard that won this with the smart La Bague Au Roi last year.
