In depth

Verdict

Tinted Rose, third over a longer trip at Market Rasen at the start of the month, has the best form of those with hurdling experience ahead of Sparkling River, though that's not saying much. SISTER SYBIL won her bumper here last December and then didn't run until unplaced in a Listed race at Sandown in March. She has more scope than Irish import Katy P, second in a Warwick bumper on her first run for Philip Hobbs, and Hughie Morrison generally does well with his small team of jumpers.
