An interesting mares' only bumper can go to Cee Cee Rider at the expense of Inghwung, Kitty Wong, Tizzy Blue and newcomers Optic and Miss Ceka. Cee Cee Rider shaped well to be third on her debut behind the more experienced Maggie Mathias and stablemate High Life here in November, and the slightly better ground should enable this half-sister to Smart Mover to go close. Inghwung was also third on her introduction at Fontwell 12 days ago and will be suited by the step up in trip, as will Kitty Wong who was also placed at the Sussex track just over three weeks ago. Tizzy Blue was just a bit too keen on her Ludlow bow. Optic hails from a stable that knows how to get one ready for these type of events, and Miss Ceka has the assistance of Tony McCoy. All in all, there is plenty of potential for the future, with preference on this occasion for Cee Cee Rider, with his stable in form.
