Colin's Sister had Atlanta Ablaze almost 12 lengths away in third when following up her Chepstow win at Warwick. A hat-trick isn’t out of the question as she’s rated 10lb higher than Kelso and Wetherby scorer Kalaniti and also finished well ahead of that one in a Listed bumper at Sandown last season. But TEARSOFCLEWBAY (NAP) was close on the heels of the Tizzard mare in that race and the placings may have been reversed had Philip Hobbs’ charge steered a straight course in the closing stages. After making a winning start over timber at Worcester, Michael Nolan’s mount could be the one to be on here. My Khaleesi was well backed at Fontwell earlier this month but was an early casualty. She should win races but may still lack a bit of experience.
