Dashaway doesn't look like emulating full brother Briar Hill on the evidence so far but should be good enough to pick up a low grade bumper before the end of the season. Blown Cover has a nice pedigree and is worth monitoring for any market support while Vodkaontherocks represents a yard who normally do well in bumpers. Princess Tara was second over 1m6f here in November but Essteepee was beaten a long way when third at Exeter. CITY SUPREME was fourth in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham on her debut and a repeat of that form would probably suffice here.
