BONNE FEE looks the one in the hope that she doesn't bounce. She returned from an 18-month absence to run a cracker behind Makadamia in a much better race than this at Exeter on only her fourth start under Rules and should have more to come. Hopefully, she can perform better than the stable's only other runner here over the three-day festival, Sunblazer. Grape Tree Flame has yet to reproduce her promising bumper form in three hurdling starts and Roll On Ruby looks a likelier sort. She displayed considerable promise in three bumper runs for Peter Bowen and was thought good enough to contest the competitive bumper at the Grand National meeting for her new yard. Monita Bonita seems to have lost her way over hurdles after a promising start but is a very rare runner here for Tim Easterby.
