The Trampolinist will need to jump better that at Worcester if she is to make her mark over timber. Speech Bubble had decent bumper form, finishing second in a Listed contest at Sandown in March. She easily beat Simply Supreme on debut and looks one for the shortlist. Doyen La Lutte, a winning pointer, has hurdling experience having finished third a close at Exeter but WHISKY EXPRESS has a nice pedigree for jumping being a half-sister to the stable’s Zulu Oscar and Ishkara Lady and she readily won a bumper on her racecourse debut, despite running green.
