Samantha Bell hasn't had too many chances to impress since joining Richard Fahey from Ireland but she's a very competent rider and today's mount, BOUNTIFUL FOREST, only just failed when dropped into this company at Beverley. This looks a good opportunity. Straight Gin made his debut in a seller then finished a tailed-off last of four at Ayr but Baltic Spirit looks a threat as he was by no means disgraced in a Newcastle maiden. Highland Princess has been beaten in sellers but Bill Turner knows how to get one ready for a debut and Hillbilly Girl is one to note in the betting.
