Seventh foal; closely related to useful jumper Rock On Rocco, half-sister to useful hurdlers An Tobar and Elle Est Belle; dam placed in AW bumper, sister to a useful chaser; likely contender.

Form & Verdict
Out of half-sister to smart jumper Vroum Vroum Mag; kept on for second on debut at Warwick (good to soft) in November but was no match for clear winner The Flaggy Shore and is seemingly the stable's second string here.

Jollie Dame

11st 0lb

J: Liam Harrison

Form figures may look encouraging but she's been beaten between 16l and 23l in her last four races, including two runs over hurdles (2m, good); still has potential but she has quite a lot to find here and others are preferred.

Form figures may look encouraging but she's been beaten between 16l and 22l in her last three races, the latest on hurdle debut at Kempton (2m, good; 12-1); has to improve to beat the best of these.

Jollie Dame

Fair form when reaching the frame in her three bumpers (good to soft/soft) this season; Burning Embers is possibly the stable first string on jockey bookings but the betting should reveal more.

Form & Verdict
Flat-bred filly who scored on debut at Stratford in October and lost out only by a head to Lady Litigator after coming from the rear in steadily run contest at Newbury (also good to soft) last month; considered.

Did well in bumpers; won a 1m3f AW maiden and then ran surprisingly well in a 1m4f Listed race; that did her mark no favours but Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and she might do better again.

Lightly raced filly who showed fair winning form in bumpers before making a successful Flat debut in 1m3f maiden at Kempton in March; capable of better but this demands considerable improvement.

Won a bumper on debut at Stratford last October and went close at Newbury in December; soundly beaten in Listed bumper at Market Rasen in January; this Flat-bred 4yo could go well on her first outing in this code.
