A weak enough bumper and a tricky race to call, but the vote goes to SHE'S SASSY, while Kaybeew can make her go. Suzy Smith has a decent record here, with two of her seven bumper runners in the past five season having obliged, and they usually come here with a chance. She's Sassy receives the fillies' allowance, and is related to soft ground lovers such as Cyfor Malta, while her dam stayed 1m 4f on the flat, so this trip should hold no fears and we will take a chance on her. Kaybeew hails from the in-form Nigel Twiston-Davies yard, and has some very useful bloodlines to draw upon here. He should be straight enough, and if acting with cut, should be bang there. Hen Knight does well in this sphere, although aptly, Nehemiah might prefer hurdles to be seen to best effect after two abortive bumper runs so far. Silver Footnote is also related to winners and pedigree suggests that he will act on the ground, so with the stable firing we give him due respect. Achiltibuie should come on for his debut and we expect to see more this time, but the suggestion here is She's Sassy.
