THE BOOLA BEE is on a career-high mark after winning at Market Rasen but she did beat an in-form rival that day and has a decent strike-rate over the larger obstacles. Collateral form probably gives her the beating of Istimraar but Trumps Benefit appeared to be coming to hand at Bangor and Luck Of The Legion is sure to strip fitter for a run at that track last month.
