Our Dot's Baby finished in front of Aimee De Sivola when winning at Ffos Las last month and Posh Trish is another recent winner having scored at Chepstow. But SULA ISLAND made an impressive start over timber when scoring at Market Rasen at the first time of asking and Alan King’s filly gets the vote to defy a penalty on that form. Duhallow Gesture won a Listed bumper at Huntingdon last year and ran well again in a Grade 1 at Aintree in April. She’s preferred to the other bumper winners Lust For Glory, It's O Kay and Indefatigable as all four go hurdling for the first time.
