Winning form is thin on the ground in this mares’ novices’ handicap. Sinurita was pulled up here last month but was second at Bangor before that. Our Nel looks one paced while Harthill has been well beaten in all completed starts but Miss Fedora has run here four times and has yet to finish out of the frame and Gaye Legacy isn’t highly tried having a first run in a handicap with Caoilin Quinn taking off 5lb. BUSHTUCKER PARK didn’t make her debut until January and ran three respectable races over hurdles in the spring so gets the vote.
