Dancingwithbubbles sounds an interesting proposition but look what it did for Wacko Jacko and so we will take a chance on BLAZING DIVA. Charlie Mann still has his horses in exemplary form and this former winning point-to-pointer could be worth siding with if the market speaks in her favour. Off the track for some time, she makes her debut under rules today and should be fine with both the trip and ground. Easter Legend is interesting if the money comes, whilst Cool Friend comes from a small yard that are often under-rated. Oscarvail and Romance Dance both have bits and pieces of form that make them interesting, whilst Flow Gently Along made a pleasing debut the other week and should appreciate this track as she jumped right last time. Hurdling debutante Dancingwithbubbles is sure to have been well-schooled for this first jumps start and the stable continue to flourish, however it is Blazing Diva who gets the nod.
