Form & Verdict
Yard does well in bumpers and this one justified good support on debut at Ffos Las (good to firm; 11-8) four weeks ago, making much of the running and rallying; open to improvement and should make a bold bid to defy a penalty.

Half-sister to the same yard's useful 1m3f/1m5f winner Ravenscraig Castle; debut came in a three-runner race (Kelso, good to firm; 9-4) but she showed clear promise in running a previous winner quite close, pulling a long way clear of the third; could go one better.
