A potentially-informative mares’ bumper. One Colour arrives on a hat-trick and Looking As You Are is due a change of luck. Avakate won at Roscommon over the summer but has changed stables since and this looks a lot tougher. LISTENTOYOURHEART only led close home at Sedgefield but the third has won since and the fourth placed in this grade next time and is quite well regarded. Dan Skelton’s charge may be the answer to this but Hereford winner Future Fortune is also respected and Magical Annie won at Galway in October. Solid Silver was clear of the remainder when runner-up to favourite Metkayina at Ludlow and should continue heading in the right direction.
