Verdict
Any market support for Flame Of Hope in this should be heeded. Jockey bookings suggest she is the pick of David Barron's two newcomers and she's a half-sister to three winners. But this is probably a good opportunity for VAULTED to gain a confidence-boosting victory before a likely switch to handicaps. She should cope with a first try over 5f and a win would certainly boost her paddocks value. Lady Molly has been third in a couple of maiden auction events so far but more would probably be needed here.
