Verdict
The market may well provide the clues in this bumper, but we will side with SALLY'S IDEA to get the better of Risaala and Blakeneys Pet. Don McCain Jnr does well with his runners in this sphere and his well-bred filly Sally's Idea will not have to be anything special to make a winning racecourse debut. Risaala looks the main danger as she is another newcomer who is quite well bred so if the market vibes were positive then it could pay to take the hint. Blakeneys Pet shaped with a bit of promise on her debut in a bumper at Exeter last month and if she can improve for that run then she could be capable of troubling the judge. Lady Of Ashcott finished even further down the field in that same Exeter race and she will need to take a big leap forward to get competitive. There is not much to go on here, but the vote is given to Sally's Idea.
