PLAY SMARTER
Had she jumped the final flight fluently at Huntingdon in December KHRISMA almost certainly would’ve seen offWatamu and, now 7lb better offwith that rival following a very narrow defeat in the mares’ novice in question, she is taken to exact her revenge. While Watamu shouldn’t be too far away, the selection may have most to fear from Charisma Cat and Getawhisky on this occasion. Trinity Street, who followed Charisma Cat home last time, is also a promising type.
GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME
The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British.

Probable S.P’s: 10-3 Little Ledgend (IRE), 9-2 Aire Spray (IRE), 6-1 Tzarmix (FR), 15-2 Parish Quiz (IRE), 11-1 Seahouses (GB), 12-1 Smile Back (IRE), 14-1 Campaign Trail (IRE), 20-1 U S Marshall (IRE), 25-1 Has Troke (FR), 28-1 Ribeye (GB), 66-1 El Saviour (IRE)
The vote goes to LITTLE LEDGEND, who has been threatening to come good of late and may well do just that now faced with a stiffer test Aire Spray will be a big threat if reproducing the form of his latest Newcastle second, while top-weight Campaign Trail is also shortlisted, along with Tzarmix and Parish Quiz.
