Lifeboat Mona had Hollies Pearl three lengths behind when making a winning start under Rules at Warwick. She's one for the short-list here along with Doncaster winner Out Of The Mist while there should be more to come from the Double Trigger mare Madame Trigger, who was third on debut at Worcester. Trigger Point just scraped home on the Polytrack at Lingfield but that will have taught her plenty. It's highly significant that Nicky Henderson's ROBINS REEF makes her debut in the grade. She's a half-sister to a mare that won a Premier bumper and two hurdle races in Ireland and can get her career off to a flying start.
