FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ARDERA RU has shown good form thus far and can win in a race where three well-bred newcomers are worth checking. A point-to-point winner on debut at Cragmore in February, she failed to sell for 40,000Gbp last July but again proved her ability with a useful fifth place finish in a Listed bumper at Navan last month. That was a hot contest and having beaten a bumper winner in filling fifth position, ARDERA RU can get her turn today with testing ground no problem to her. Present Road is a danger having fallen at the final fence when leading on her only run at Curraghmore in October. She had a 4L lead at the last when falling then and with the eventual winner subsequently finishing second in a Hereford bumper, the race has at least some form to it and Present Road, which failed to sell for 48,000Gbp in November, has her chance. Socially Distant ran well on bumper debut in November but disappointed subsequently, when reported to be post-race normal, and now runs in a first-time hood. Well-bred It'sallabouteve was a E75,000 3yo purchase, is a half-sister to Grand National runner-up Balthazar King and should go well on debut. Premier Queen is a sister to smart performer Darling Daughter and should also go well on debut. More Wine Lily, by Flemensfirth, is the first foal from a Listed Bumper winning dam and is another who could have solid ability.
