In depth
Verdict
Ballybough Mary has pointing experience and Miss Gold Den was third at Warwick on debut, though no match for the first two. Blue Luna is a half-sister to a winning hurdler and represents a yard with a good strike-rate in bumpers and Merry Mistress is also worth a market check but we like the pedigree of JET FANTASTIQUE. She is a half-sister to the useful Newtide and her yard can do little wrong at present.
