Augusta Kate

The Albert Bartlett is the plan and will give Death Duty plenty to think about. I think she's a great each way bet 8/1.

Can see why she's a popular ew bet, but I thought was pretty disappointing in the Bumper after a serious gamble. Didn't appear to get up the hill to me and that would have to be a worry for me against some experienced stamina laden males over a sapping 3m at Cheltenham.

I see your point CCM and a very valid one it is too. I just think that she has improved for a step up in trip - Willie doesn't think she'll have a problem getting a trip. She was going as well as anything the last day in Naas when she fell and hopefully her mare's allowance should be a big help when they hit the hill. Should be a cracker of a race regardless of the outcome.

strikes me as one of those horses that will improve a bundle for the spring ground
