Seamus Mullins has two entries here. Bee Crossing, a winner between the flags, chased home the long odds-on If You Say Run on her hurdling bow at Wincanton and will be much better suited by this longer trip. Winning bumper Jubilympics didn't appear to appreciate heavy going on her hurdling debut here and conditions are unlikely to be any better this time. Bold Image, another bumper winner, was also well beaten in that latter event as was My Dance, though the latter led for a long way and is entitled to come on for the run. SCORPION PRINCESS did well in bumpers and showed promise over timber when a very good third in a novices' event at Ludlow last month. She looks the one to be on though Tierra Verde wouldn't need to be special to make a successful debut over hurdles having shown some potential in bumpers.
