Miss Sassypants landed a couple of bumpers before not being disgraced in the Aintree Listed bumper at the Grand National meeting and is an interesting recruit to hurdles while Cailin, Ellin's Tower and Lola Galli are other bumper performers to have displayed potential who go over timber for the first time. The latter makes most appeal of that trio although Bonne Fee is another to watch on a first start since October 2012 and market support would be noteworthy. Shuil Gealach is progressing steadily over hurdles and merits respect but MAKADAMIA receives the vote. The mare seemed to run out of steam after travelling well when a respectable fourth at Wincanton and this drop back to 2m3f looks a sensible decision.
