The Crawford team do well in bumpers and MOURNE LASS (NAP) didn't run badly on her Hexham debut in early May when attracting market support. Brian Hughes' presence in the saddle is a major plus. Sister Sophie shaped nicely in a five-runner affair at Worcester and should progress, as should Isla Diamonds and Shantou Champagne. The latter caught the eye at Perth while Bonttay represents the in-form Fergal O'Brien team stable on debut and Presenting Grace is a very rare runner in this sphere for his shrewd yard which does well on the level.
