Verdict
EVIDENCE DE THAIX has been bought by J P McManus after winning two bumpers in the French Provinces. She has a fine pedigree for jumping and Barry Geraghty travels over for just the one booked ride. Moonlight Dancer has only shown moderate form to date and Belle Amis, a winner at Wetherby on her bumper debut, was put in her place in Listed company at Sandown in March. Urca De Lima also made a successful bumper debut at Uttoxeter but was well beaten in both subsequent starts.
