Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer Fancy Stuff has a penalty to carry for her victory in a Ludlow bumper in December but looks a nice prospect and will take some beating. Criquette won a maiden point in Ireland in December and was staying on nicely when making her bumper debut at Newcastle, though she could find the ground a bit lively. Horizon Dove took a long time to warm up at Taunton but made late headway and will have come on markedly for the experience. Kimberley Eve was sent into Listed company at Cheltenham after a very promising introduction at Wincanton but couldn't cope and should find this easier. NOTHINGTOCHANCE is a full sister to the stable's brilliant Arkle winner Edwardstone, who finished second in all three starts in bumpers, so Alan King's newcomer gets the nod to make a winning debut.
