Winning bumper At First Light didn't show much on her hurdling debut at Ffos Las and Centoria hasn't been seen since 2013. Chantara Rose showed some ability in bumpers and something was probably amiss on her hurdling debut at Ffos Las where she weakened very quickly. LEADEROFTHEDANCE made a successful debut in a Worcester bumper and has given the indication that there's more to come over hurdles so she's handed the vote. Bangor bumper winner When In Roam has been well beaten in both starts over hurdles but Presenting Lisa, a winner between the flags and of a bumper on this track, should eventually prove to be much better than she showed on her hurdling debut at Huntingdon.
