Verdict
Vale de Lobo, Bowland Bride and Kumala Ocean are all worth considering in this fillies' seller and the vote is given to Bowland Bride. The selection has been a little disappointing of late but she showed she has plenty of ability when winning well at Thirsk back in May. She needs to step up on some of recent efforts to take this but now that her yard has hit form she looks worth chancing against some moderate rivals. Vale De Lobo hails from the Sir Mark Prescott yard and she showed plenty of promise on her debut at Lingfield when fifth behind Afrashad. She is sure to have come on for that run and if the market speaks in her favour it could pay to take the hint. Kumala Ocean is a well-bred filly and hails from a yard who do well in these type of events. Again a watching brief on the market is advised. Of the remainder, Paris Tapis could be better than she showed on her debut and she might be capable of running on into a place, but for the winner we return to Bowland Bride.
