ASTERION FORLONGE is bred for chasing and went for a massive £290,000 at the sales after an impressive debut between the flags at Oldtown in February last year. He'll be tuned up for this and can start repaying some of the outlay. Watergate Lady made a promising debut in a Clonmel bumper in February and will be receiving 12lb from the selection while Lucky Mare, a half-sister to two winning jumpers and out of a mare who won a bumper, looks best of the newcomers.
