Verdict

Happy Diva showed potential in bumpers and made a very encouraging hurdles debut in a similar race to this at Towcester. MIDNIGHT SILVER finished a length behind her but the dual bumper winner should be much better suited by the softer ground so is taken to reverse the form and land this. Lakeshore Lady, who won a point-to-point in May, finished around four lengths behind the latter in that Towcester event and will have come on for the run. Jessber's Dream scored between the flags in February and went for £55,000 at the sales the following month. She led for a long way on her bumper debut at Aintree and will be much more at home over timber. Pennywell also went to the sales after her point-to-point victory and made £26,000 and Rosygo has been running in Ireland, where she showed some promise, and Richard Johnson's presence in the saddle is intriguing.
