Miss Mcgugen was having her ninth run between the flags when scoring easily at Ballingarry in May and went for £14,000 at the sales. Somewhat Cloudy was bought for £45,000 after finishing second in a Tipperary bumper and was in touch for a long way on her hurdling bow at Cartmel in May. Vivid Luminosity started off well in a bumper here in September but has been well beaten in all starts over timber. I SPY A DIVA was well supported and always in the front rank when making a successful bumper debut at Worcester in April so there should be much more to come.
