Verdict

MADE U BLUSH easily accounted for 6 rivals at Doncaster over Christmas and her Flat form suggests she should be capable of better again for Dan Skelton. Fellow filly Wondferfulwonderful should be seen to good effect over this sharp 2m and is second choice ahead of the other Jimmy Fyffe runner Secret Force.

5	Fairly useful Flat winner for Jonathan Portman who was beaten at short odds on her Warwick hurdle debut but made no mistake at Doncaster (2m, good) next time, cruising clear.

6	Fairly useful maiden on Flat and struck at first time of asking over hurdles in Killarney juvenile in August. Shaped better than result when 12½ lengths fourth of 12 in listed juvenile at Newbury in November, proving a bit too exuberant in front. This sharp 2m should suit her. 2nd Pick 6 Wonderfulwonderful (Ire) Jockey: Alex Harvey Trainer: John Mcconnell, Ireland J: Alex Harvey T: John Mcconnell, Ireland	98	-	-	-	17%
