13/2
Successful on sole outing in Irish points and built on her encouraging Rules debut when landing a 9-runner event at Ludlow a couple of months ago. No reason why she won't do better still.

Winner of her sole completed start in points and second a couple of times in bumpers, but she's not up to this level.

€55,000 3-y-o, £165,000 4-y-o, Milan mare. Half-sister to fair 2½m hurdle winner Moon Over Mexico. Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 2023) and notable that top yard has selected this as her starting point.

Timeform
Related to a point winner and shaped with encouragement on debut in an Aintree bumper. Subsequently bolted up at Carlisle (17f, soft) and arrives with the best form, so leading claims.

12/1
Related to a bumper winner and off the mark at the first attempt in 16-runner event at Galway. Only seventh in listed event at Doncaster on debut for this yard but remains with potential.

Horse silk
12/1
Made a winning debut in a Fontwell bumper and took a marked step forward to follow up in a stronger contest at Lingfield almost 3 months ago. Worth a crack at this level.
|
Timeform
From a good family and built on debut when off the mark at Warwick. Came up short upped in grade at Doncaster last time, however.

15/2
Related to winners and made a successful start herself at Aintree in October. Solid efforts to hit the frame at this level the last twice and should give another good account.

Horse silk
80/1
Runner-up on her final start in Irish points and made a solid start to her Rules career when 8 lengths second of 16 at Wetherby. Not in quite the same form since and has a bit to find.

9/2
Bred to stay well, so highly encouraging that she could finish a clear second at Wincanton on debut. This provides a slightly stiffer test of stamina, so could do better.

Half-sister to 2 winners and showed plenty when runner-up in a Carlisle bumper first time out. More to come but this sort of test might come a bit too soon.

Forecasts

Honky Tonk Highway (3/1), Just Call Me Lucy (4/1), I've Madeupmymind (9/2), Bellas Bridge (13/2), Sunset Marquesa (15/2), Crazierthandaisy (8/1), My Louise (12/1), Magical Annie (12/1), Rula Bula (14/1), Plantaroma (25/1), The Secret Pearl (80/1), Calli Black (150/1)

Verdict

JUST CALL ME LUCY was highly impressive at Carlisle 83 days ago and sets the standard on that form, so she's preferred to Rules-debutante Honky Tonk Highway, who looked a good prospect when winning a point. Sunset Marquesa has already proved she can compete at this level, so she also warrants respect.
