Selected odds by:
From a successful NH family and started well in this sphere last season, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when seeing off 15 rivals in Sandown listed in March. 4 lb penalty but still much respected.
|
Schiaparelli filly who made a successful start at Warwick but seemed to find this grade beyond her when only tenth to Bonttay here a couple of months ago. Others preferred.
|
Related to the smart chaser Angels Breath and made the ideal start when narrowly scoring from a poor tactical position at Plumpton last month. Open to improvement with a tongue strap applied.
|
Kapgarde filly who looked a good prospect when breezing through to make a winning start at Ffos Las in November. That form might not be all that strong, but she has potential.
|
Placed both starts in points, then cruised through to land a Ludlow bumper in ready fashion earlier this month. Looks a useful prospect for yard enjoying a tremendous season.
|
Confirmed debut promise in no uncertain terms when powering away to land a Carlisle event by a wide margin 7 weeks ago. More than capable of making mark at higher level on that evidence.
|
Won 9-runner bumper at Sligo on debut in August. Better form when 5 lengths fifth of 12 in Navan listed just over 3 months later. Potential for better again for top yard which won this in 2020.
|
Bought for £85,000 after winning her sole Irish point in November. Pitched in at the deep end on Rules debut but worth keeping an eye on in the betting all the same.
|
Promising third at Punchestown last spring prior to making a winning start for Alastair Ralph in Ludlow bumper just before Christmas. Yet another in this field with the potential for better.
|
Walk In The Park filly who confirmed her debut promise at the second attempt when landing a Newcastle bumper 3 weeks ago. This step up in grade demands a step forward, though.
|
Showed promise amidst greenness when third on Wetherby debut but found a course listed too hot on New Year's Day. Yard won this last year but it's unlikely this one will stage a repeat.

Nos Na Gaoithe (9/4), Hidden Beauty (7/2), Flirtatious Girl (9/2), Nell's Bells (5/1), Mullenbeg (8/1), Mistral Nell (10/1), Tintern Abbey (18/1), Fairy Gem (20/1), Notnowlinda (28/1), Walk In The Storm (50/1), Chic Avenue (50/1), Betty's Belle (66/1)
Lots with chances. NELL'S BELLS pulled well clear at Carlisle last month so she gets the nod to continue the good run of the Donald McCain/Brian Hughes combination. Willie Mullins won this in 2020 and Nos Na Gaoithe has to be on the shortlist given the yard's excellent bumper record. Flirtatious Girl, already a winner at this level, Hidden Beauty and Mullenbeg are others to consider.
