Formscan By Tom Weekes - BAMBINO FEVER bids to follow up recent heroics and holds three of today’s rivals on previous form. A point-to-point winner, her bumper form is top class and having beaten Switch From Diesel in February, raced wide when scoring at Cheltenham. She is ground-versatile, consistent and can confirm Cheltenham placings with stablemate Copacabana (finished tenth) and Kalypso'chance (11th, having started favourite). Patrick Mullins again rides Copacabana and while he defeated two subsequent winners on debut and also raced wide at Cheltenham, nonetheless has 10 lengths to find with the selection. Keen-going Colcannon defeated the subsequent Cheltenham-seventh and eighth-placed horses in February and is capable.
An I.N.H. flat race for four, five, six and seven years old only mares and geldings only that have not won a race under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing other than I.N.H. Flat Races or N.H. Flat Races or a combination of such races and which have not run in a hurdle race
