Burning Embers (M)
€35,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Dam (c107/h107) bumper/2m-2½m hurdle winner. Showed ability/inexperience when sixth in 9-runner bumper on debut at Ascot last month and likely she'll better suited to hurdling.

Indigo Sky (M)
[T1]
Well held in bumpers for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole and having joined a yard who had success with her relatives, fared little better on hurdle debut/reappearance last month.

Jollie Dame (M)
6-figure buy as a store and though yet to build on promising bumper debut behind useful sort, she may do better now sent hurdling by top yard (also saddle Burning Embers).

Lady Iris (M)
Well beaten sole start in France but offered something to work with on stable debut/reappearance when distant runner-up behind The Mondo Man at Plumpton. Claims if she can build on that.

Molten Sea (M)
FAV
Fairly useful Flat winner (stays 16.5f) for William Haggas (sold 20,000 gns) and showed an aptitude for hurdling on return from 4 months off when 22/1 fifth in 13-runner maiden at Hereford. That probably wasn't a strong race, but she still…

Shutfrontdoor (M)
Outspeeded a subsequent winner when successful on bumper debut at Fontwell (good) but looked held (on softer ground than previously faced) when falling 2 out on hurdle debut at Fontwell (5/2) in December. Has been given time to get over th…

Gold Cast (F)
Narrowly denied a fairly useful sort when opening her account at third time of asking at Auteuil in May, but having changed hands for €300,000, ran no sort of race in listed juvenile at Newbury on stable debut in November. Could be the one…
