Taking a look over the Bumper at Wexford tonight (7:40) and
Kingsandqueens catches my eye, she's from the powerful stable of Colin Bowe who's had plenty of success with mares in bumper races in the past few months as well as being the Champion P2P trainer last season. This mare won just a week ago on good ground and there's been rain in South East Ireland in recent days so I'd expect the going to ride a bit softer than the official "good to firm" description. Her main opposition is likely to be provided by the Willie Mullins mare Apt Manor who won on a bumper at the third time of asking on firm ground last time out having previously placed at the prestigious Galway Festival. Benefique who there's been good money for this morning also ran at Galway, occupying the same position as Apt Manor but at the respective prices I think that Kingsandqueens represents a solid each-way bet at SJ, VC and Ladbrokes 6/1.
