In depth
Verdict
It didn't look a bad bumper in which BESPOKE LADY made her debut under Rules at Kelso and she ran well enough despite looking in need of the experience. She'll improve and will take some beating though this is obviously a race where the market should be watched closely. Tim Easterby has two representatives and the four-year-old It's Time To Dance has a pacier pedigree than Looking Glass so should be better suited to the quicker conditions. Inside Out has a nice pedigree for jumping being out of a mare who won over hurdles and fences while Paddy Brennan's booking for Irish raider Jennys Melody catches the eye and his mount is out of a winning bumper.
