Although Efhrina is in good form and will be a popular choice to land the three-timer, it is also worth bearing in mind that she is 0-from-12 previous visits to Dunstall Park and, therefore is taken on with previous course winner Bubbling Fun, who steps up to a more appropriate trip this afternoon. Taminoula, who holds Flaming Eyes on a strict reading of their encounter here just after Christmas, is another to merit a second look in the betting and it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in her favour. However, her yard has been very quiet lately and she may be best watched until more positive signs emit from Pulborough. Flaming Eyes is a likely candidate to cut out the early running and should ensure there is sufficient pace on to make this a good test. However, she emptied too quickly for comfort when she raced at Lingfield last month and she may just set it up for something to come from off the pace. Which we expect to be Bubbling Fun, who ended a frustrating run when she won her maiden on her first visit to the course last November and, with the extra distance sure to suit, this daughter of Marju looks the value call to round off a very tricky card at Wolverhampton with a winner.
