Verdict

Huntingdon third Bonnet's Vino looks the best of those with experience in this but it will be a surprise if she's good enough to get the better of some nicely-bred newcomers. MAYFAIR MUSIC is by Presenting and a half-sister to three winning jumpers including the useful Oscar Nominee. She'll almost certainly know what's required and can make a winning debut ahead of Midnight Cataria, who may need more time, and Lucette. The latter is closely related to a winning chaser and is likely to do better when tackling hurdles and a more searching test of stamina.
