Verdict
BOHEMIAN BIRCH was well beaten on her bumper debut but made no mistake at Sligo in October. Her dam is from the family of Silver Birch so stamina shouldn't be an issue and she can make a winning start over timber. Erins Benefit, a very impressive bumper winner, has now had four starts over timber and, though her form entitles her to great respect, she looks vulnerable. Humble Glory was beaten a couple of lengths between the flags at Boulta a year ago and has joined Gordon Elliott but Wild Caprice needs to brush up her jumping though she'll enjoy the conditions.
