In depth
Verdict
Sheila Nash swerved and unseated her rider at the start at Wincanton but showed promise last season. Navy Girl won twice between the flags in the autumn but BALLYBOUGH MARY has also won in that sphere and she has been showing progressive form in bumpers at Hereford, though does have a penalty to carry. Pop The Champagne also carries 7lb extra for her victory at Lingfield but Kimmins, Authorized Pursuit and Maroochi are all possible threats with improvement likely.
