Going - Yielding to soft, soft in places. Fine

Formscan By Tom Weekes - EARLY BIRD represents last year’s winning trainer and being nicely bred, might score on debut. The selection’s trainer operates at a notably high strike-rate and as Early Bird is out of a bumper-winning mare and is by Annie Power’s sire, could be useful. Ufouria finished second to a smart type on debut here in October 2023 - with the third and fifth-placed horses winning subsequently, and while she disappointed subsequently, it is encouraging connections return her for another bumper. Forceonmyown’s form was poor prior to winning a recent point-to-point and has joined a top yard while Hurricane Bailey was reported to have been ‘showing signs of tying up post race’ after her January run but had shown form last Christmas.

Probable SP 15/8 Forceonmyown, 4/1 Hurricane Bailey, Early Bird, 5/1 Ufouria, 8/1 Shesakindofmagic, 12/1 Thefarmersdaughter, 20/1 So Far Away, 25/1 Treenbeg, 33/1 Cash Chase, 50/1 Whatchukno, Ill Raise A Glass, Queen Of Chenab.
