In depth
Verdict
Bounce Back is bred for the Flat but was narrowly beaten when sent off favourite for a junior bumper over 1m4f at Wetherby. She can figure if lasting home over this longer trip but MISSFIT looks a safer proposition. The latter made a promising start when third in an all-weather bumper at Lingfield and her dam is a half-sister to Champion Hurdler Katchit. Avec Permission finished behind the selection but is a likely improver along with Isle Of Rona while Mistral Nell is a newcomer to note.
