Verdict

WESTERN CHARM looks the safest option in this small-field mares bumper. The two newcomers both have something going for them on paper, with Sorgean taken to chase the selection home.

1	Left her debut form behind when comfortably winning mares maiden bumper over C&D in January. Found task too much when well-beaten ninth of 10 to Ti'mamzel in listed bumper at Sandown (2m, soft) last month.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Bolt

A sudden veering to the inside or outside rail, often caused by the horse spooking or shying from something.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.
