A few of these have already shown a degree of promise including Desert Robe, a son of winning hurdler Hot 'n Saucy, who was sent off favourite when second at Huntingdon in March. No No Charlie has already been placed at Worcester and Chepstow while the mare Corlea was well backed on her debut at Hereford last August but has been absent since. Offbeat Safaris has only found one too good at Kempton and Taunton so far but DEFINITE RUBY, an 11,000 euros filly from the same family as the useful Deep Sunset and Glacial Sunset, is probably a better long-term prospect and is fancied to make a winning start to her career.
