Verdict
Didonato, Bourbon Beauty and Squaw Vallee have all shown ability in bumpers and could make life interesting getting weight from the two previous winners. Perfect Myth has won twice and been second twice in her four runs so far this term but may not find it easy to give 6lb to easy Exeter winner WHO WHAT WHEN, who has looked much more effective on quicker ground this season.
