Probably not the strongest of bumpers, even though several of the big yards are represented. Ask Me What will have no trouble with the testing conditions, having won is similar ground at Folkestone, but she has more on in this under her penalty. Although Countess Camilla was weak in the market on her debut, she shaped quite well and will know more this time, while newcomer Queensland Bay runs here instead of waiting for Catterick next week. Nobratinetta will find this easier than when facing the high class Armaguedon at Ayr and will be difficult to beat, but the vote goes to the ex-Irish Foxchapel Queen, who hails from a yard full of talented animals at this level. She is basically a winner without a penalty, having been denied in a photo at Cork, on softish ground and she is taken to put matters right here.
