Expert Analysis

Reporter: Simon Rowlands

A race that tends to be as much about potential as achievement, and none of these would be within a few lengths of the Champion Bumper winning mare Bambino Fever on form, but they may yet bridge the gap. The pace was a bit on the steady side on drying ground that was close to “good” by this stage, the winner’s final 4f of 54.41s coming out at 105.7% finishing speed and the runner-up deserving a bit of extra credit as it was run.

SEO LINN (f127 here and previously) had some of the strongest form going in and did not have to improve on it to justify strong support, travelling well close to the pace before going on over 2f out, joined 1f later but responding well to pressure despite edging right. She is a mix on breeding (half-sister to numerous flat winners, but by Order of St George) and showed plenty of pace as well as some stamina here.

LA CONQUIERE (f126+ here, 114 previously) did well as the race was run, improving well from mid-field to challenge approaching the final 1f but finding the winner just too strong and should win races, be it in bumpers or over hurdles.

KINGSTON QUEEN (f124 here and previously) is proving consistent and put up a borderline useful performance once more, always close up and staying on again at the finish, likely to be suited by at least 20f over hurdles.

QUEEN KATE (f123+ here, 113 previously) came from some way back and deserves a bit of extra credit, though no further impression late on.

ST JESSICA (f117+ here and previously) shaped a bit better than the result, free in mid to rear before making late gains without getting in a blow.
