Mem O'Rees is fancied to keep Tony McCoy on the boil as he rolls towards yet another jockeys title; Kayf Keel and Lady Pilot can make a good fist of things, while Plume D'Oudairies appears to be getting her act together and can play a good supporting role if she stays on her feet. The Henrietta Knight-trained filly has time on her side and can start to pay her way before too long. Lady Pilot was travelling smoothly until she took her eye off the ball and fell at the penultimate flight on her hurdling debut last month. Assuming her confidence has not been affected, Jim Best's charge can be force in this company and would be dangerous to leave out of the equation. Kayf Keel, like the selection, has scope for improvement and is expected to be sharper for her reappearance effort at Bangor last month. She ran very respectably after a long break and will be a threat if she does not suffer from the 'bounce factor'. Even so, Mem O'Rees - a half-sister to Mighty Man - showed improved form last time out and, with McCoy sure to give her every assistance from the saddle, this appears to be a fair opening for this 100,000gns purchase to start justifying her sales price tag.
