Formscan By Tom Weekes - VIVA LAA VIDA has a smart pedigree and has the assistance of a vastly experienced 7lb claimer for her debut. The selection is the second foal from a Grade 2-hurdle winner who has already produced a useful point-to-point winner and while she makes her debut, it is encouraging she does so in a bumper for a leading yard. Surfin Usa is absent since finishing 20 lengths-second at Sligo in August 2024 and looks vulnerable to capable types on reappearance. Belladaball was supported on debut wearing a tongue-tie last December and while well held, can progress. Lizzie Twigg hails a mostly Flat family but a half-sister scored over hurdles in Italy.
