In depth

Verdict

Emma Lavelle's Debris has to be considered in this fascinating bumper, but we will take a chance with the well bred newcomer Nature's Magic, Sheknowsyouknow may do best of the others. The selection is from a yard that do well in this sphere and this daughter of Private Dispatch is related to numerous winners incuding Dove From above. The market will provide confirmation of fitness, but we expect her to be well supported and she gets a narrow vote. Debris landed an Irish point to point last year in good style and his talented handler will no duobt have him ready to run his race. Sheknowsyouknow is also from a yard that is capable of getting one ready first time out and this Petrizzo filly is another to watch out for in the betting ring. Penny Strong also catches the eye on pedigre and may do best of the others, but Nature's Magic is the choice on this occasion.
