Those with experience look beatable so we’ll concentrate on the newcomers. BY THE GRACE and Blue The Money are both by Blue Bresil and represent yards with a solid strike-rate in bumpers. The former is a £68,000 half-sister to winning hurdler Maid On The Moon so just gets the nod but Fergal O’Brien’s mare is a half-sister to five winners so is much respected. Woolberry, the first foal to race of a useful hurdles and bumper winner, and Darting Rose, a half-sister to several winning jumpers trained by Pam Sly, are others worth a market check.
