Verdict

Not the strongest novice hurdle to finish off the card with dual bumper winner MELANGERIE just given the nod over decent Flat handicapper Speed Company; experience may just give her the edge. Beyond that pairing Destrier and Doc Carver look to be the only dangers to the main two players in this.
  1. Melangerie
  2. Speed Company
  3. Destrier
