Faha Belle is the only winner in the line-up but that came in the pointing sphere and she now makes a debut under Rules after joining Fergal O'Brien. Her chance is respected and the market should indicate stable confidence. Strong Belle is the most experienced member of the field but does seem to have had her limitations somewhat exposed, although she ought to be there or thereabouts in what doesn't appear a particularly strong bumper. Trudie Glen and Aunty Christine make most appeal of the newcomers and Miss Applejack is a possible improver, but BRAVE JEN (NAP) is given another chance. She was well beaten last time but that came in Listed grade and her debut fourth here behind the classy Dysart Enos was enough to suggest she should be a key player in a contest such as this.
