Verdict

A fair few of these will appreciate this trip having previously run in point-to-points although they may struggle against the principals. ETAMINE DU COCHET sets a clear standard having finished 2nd to Grade 1 winner We Have A Dream on her hurdles debut with that form having been well advertised and she gets a good opportunity to open her account here. Trull La La is an interesting newcomer from a top yard who have a very good strike rate here and she must be respected with the market likely to provide the best vibe about her chance. Freedom Run, Legends Gold and Malachys Girl have all shown various degrees of promise and can be expected to run well.
  1. Etamine Du Cochet
