Andy Oliver filly looks set to leave plenty of rivals in her slipstream

7th, 2m½f mares' bumper, Punchestown, October 12

Nothing signifies the ramping up of the jumps season more than the two-day meeting at Punchestown in October and while unexposed horses for the future weren't plentiful, there was something to like about the performance of this mare in the bumper.

It was not a particularly strongly run contest and Bingo Queen was difficult to settle. She didn't really manage to pick up to any great extent when asked for an effort, but when it did look like she might stay on, she was squeezed up a touch inside the last furlong. It was a promising effort from this daughter of Libertarian, who has a bit of size about her and can only improve for time and distance.
