Scorpio Queen won a bumper here and though well beaten in two runs over timber wouldn't be travelling back from Lambourn without good reason. BRILLARE MOMENTO had some very smart form in bumpers and may have made a successful hurdling debut at Ludlow in December but for unseating at the second last. She looks a nice prospect and is taken to gain compensation though Mariah's Legend won easily at Huntingdon and didn't look at her best at Doncaster next time. Just A Feeling has a year's absence to overcome and looks one for the future.
