Verdict

There's no need to look any further than CAROLE'S LEGACY. Forecast or each-way backers may be interested in Dancingwithbubbles and Smuglin. Carole's Legacy was a smart performer in bumpers and she was well backed to make a winning start to her hurdling career but had the misfortune to bump into Shoreacres. She accounted for a fair sort at Newbury next time out and should have little trouble disposing of this field. Dancingwithbubbles was turned over at odds-on on her hurdling bow so needs to leave that form behind her whilst Smuglin can be expected to win races in this sphere but has plenty to find on the book. Forest Perk is a winner between the flags but should benefit from this initial experience as may Double Brandy who shaped with plenty of promise in a Newbury bumper on debut before getting stuck in the mud next time. The odd one or two of these will be worth keeping an eye on but they're all competing for minor roles behind Carole's Legacy.
