Verdict
Ebonello would be the choice in this if turning up but she had a good chance in the 5.10 Hereford yesterday. Mistral Lady is a half-sister to winning bumper and hurdler Peggies Venture and the Flat-bred Kaleb could also go well but fellow newcomer GIRLOFMYDREAMS is another runner in this bumper by Derby winner Sir Percy and she is related to winners on the Flat and over jumps so gets the nod.
