Returned to debut form when fifth to Silver Forever at Ascot on reappearance but will have to find more to turn around form with re-opposing rivals from that race.

20/1

Mare has finished second-best in both starts to date at Wetherby and Uttoxeter, steps up in class now and will have to improve markedly to get off the mark.

Form: 22

Lugg River⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

66/1

Kayf Tara filly is a sister to a couple of winners, though hasn't looked a winner in waiting in either start so far and may need some time.

Form: 54

Misty Whisky⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| D

5/1

Runner-up on debut at Aintree and duly went one better at Ludlow, Stowaway mare has been given a nice break since and is open to more progress for trainer Harry Fry.

Form: 21

Mystic Dreamer²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: L P Aspell| T: N J Gifford

12/1

Runner-up behind Silver Forever at Ascot on debut last month having gone off a 33-1 chance. Definite claims if building on that pleasing start.

Form: 2

Redbridge Gold⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

25/1

Winner of a bumper at Doncaster in January on second outing under rules. Did it nicely enough but surely must improve to double tally in this field.

Form: P641-21

Silver Forever²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| D

11/8

Two wins from three starts in this sphere and has beaten a few of these rivals along the way, rallying impressively to fend off Mystic Dreamer latest at Ascot. Solid claims again.

Form: 1131

Whitehotchillifili¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry| D

9/4

Easy winning debut at Southwell on good to soft (form not strong) in December and since finished second at Warwick behind useful rival. Prospects enhanced by Noel Fehily riding, one of two for the yard in this field.

Form: 12

Forecasts

Silver Forever (11/8), Whitehotchillifili (9/4), Misty Whisky (5/1), Mystic Dreamer (12/1), Eyes Right (12/1), Briery Express (16/1), Farne (20/1), Redbridge Gold (25/1), Easter Gold (33/1), Lugg River (66/1), Eleanorofaquitaine (66/1)

Harry Fry's record in bumpers is excellent, with a 29 per-cent strike rate over the last month. He fires two at this prize and in-form Noel Fehily is on board WHITEHOTCHILLIFILI. A winner on debut in December, she possibly met a decent rival next time at Warwick when settling for second. There should be more to come from her and a second success beckons. Silver Forever has already enjoyed two wins and showed a good attitude to repel debutante Mystic Dreamer at Ascot last time. Both are considered, with the latter a likely improver. Mister Whisky, stablemate to the selection, also commands plenty respect.
