BAMBINO Fever was surprisingly beaten on her hurdling debut at Navan, but she must be given another chance to shine. This race was run at a crawl given the soft conditions allowing the first 11 horses home to finish relatively strongly with FSP’s above 100%. Bambino Fever was the fastest horse in the race hitting a speed of 34.66mph (winner 34.13mph) and she ran the fastest furlong in the race of 13.37s (F15).

Her historical data tells us that she can run faster than she did here. At Cheltenham in the Champion Bumper, she found a top speed of 37.21mph where she was racing on much better ground than she encountered here.
