Verdict
Smart bumper CASA NO MENTO (NAP) has does superbly since tackling hurdles, easily winning in maiden and novice company in her two starts. She was impressive at Hereford and, though facing better rivals, looks the one to beat. Queens Gamble has a very similar profile so has to be regarded as a major threat while Jaminska was tackling older horses when runner-up at Hereford. Larchmont Lass won a Listed bumper in March but was beaten a very long way when runner-up here a couple of weeks ago.
