Crystal Gazing made it third-time lucky at Worcester in August but Hello Bob won at Musselburgh in March at the first time of asking and should go well for new connections having changed hands for £43,000. Capricia is a sister to a hurdles winner and out of a mare that has produced winners with her first three offspring to race but CINDERBELLA is another newcomer to note. She’s by a prolific NH sire and her dam was a thorough stayer so she’s a nice prospect. Urban Artist was very green last season but she was fourth at Cheltenham in April and a repeat of that effort would see her in the firing-line.
