Verdict

Willie Mullins has won the first three renewals of this and he fires a whopping seven at the target, with a hatful of chances amongst them. Sancta Simona has promising form in the book while Buildmeupbuttercup and Eglantine Du Seuil are very likely improvers. My Sister Sarah gets Ruby Walsh's services and she's progressing nicely, so it is noteworthy the stable jockey selects her. Both Posh Trish and Sinoria have impressed with their form but the potential of EPATANTE is unknown. She has won both starts since coming from France without breaking sweat and is part of a strong Nicky Henderson assault on this. She could be very, very good.
  1. Epatante
