Ask A Sainte has the benefit of experience but takes on several interesting types among the newcomers, namely STRONG VIEW, Alba Crus, L'Arme de Bonheur and the selection's stablemate (apparent second string) Kaydence in that order of preference. The market signals should complete the picture.[Steve Boow]

Half-brother to his yard's 2m chase winner Thatza Dazzler; promising third of eight at Wincanton (good) where he fared best of the newcomers despite hanging; the only runner who has the benefit of experience.
Represents major stable but doesn't stand out on pedigree, being by Schiaparelli out of unraced sister to a point winner; the betting should give further guidance.
Dam triple point winner, out of half-sister to hurdle/chase winner Deciding Moment, is granddaughter of unraced half-sister to some smart sorts, including bumper performer Inca; yard is 12-104 in bumpers.
Dam point winner, half-sister to 2m4f-3m1f chase scorer Good Order, out of 2m chase winner; stable is 0-17 in bumpers in last five seasons; not an obvious type.
20,000euros 3yo; half-brother to bumper/hurdle winner Parade Away; dam 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase scorer, sister to bumper/hurdle winner She's On The Case; suitably bred but yard's bumper strike-rate is modest.
22,000euros foal, 55,000euros 3yo; half-brother to five winners, notably Kolossal (European 1m2f-1m4f including Group 3; RPR 110); James Bowen is a positive booking; warrants respect.
Dam French 3m1f cross-country chase winner, sister to French 11.5f AQPS Flat/2m1f chase winner Baia Viva; trainer's sole bumper runner this season was a successful newcomer (SP 15-2); interesting.
Half-brother to 2m4f hurdle scorer Pop The Question and two point winners; dam multiple point winner, also placed 2m7f/3m hunter chases, out of 6f scorer; stable is 1-12 in bumpers.
£26,000 3yo; dam point/3m chase winner, half-sister to bumper/hurdle/chase winner Finney and useful bumper winner Our Matti; one of two suitably bred newcomers for this yard; shortlisted.
Half-sister to three winners, including two for her connections, notably Strong Leader (bumper and smart 2m-3m hurdle); dam unraced half-sister to Hennessy Gold Cup winner Strong Flow; leaps off the page.
