A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of races the market will be all important but the principals look to be Boomshakalaka, Nonotreally and Our Tees Component and the vote is given to the last named. The selection hails from a yard that does well in this sphere and this well bred filly by Saddlers Hall will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut. Boomshakalaka is another well bred sort that should be noted in the market as he comes from a family that includes the high class Travado but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Nonotreally is a brother to hurdles winner Clouding Over but he is another that may do better in time.Of those to have run Trafalga Man showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is sure to improve but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Tees Component.
