Bonne Fee was easy to back on her debut over C&D in November but responded well to pressure to get off the mark at the first time of asking. Her penalty and a break since could prove her undoing today, however, while Aztec Flo was beaten in a match at Wincanton. Crowcombe Park hinted at ability at Uttoxeter but could find one or two of the newcomers have a little more scope. Given connections, Definite Ruby has to go on the short-list as she's related to several bumper and hurdles winners while Paupers Present is from the same family as Grand National winner Comply Or Die but we'll give a tentative vote to COMINGTHROTHERYE, another with a decent NH pedigree, as her stable has a good strike rate in bumpers here.
