Verdict

A case can be made for all of these but Paul Nicholls' MIRANDA starts the season on a good mark so gets the nod on the back of an excellent recent second on the Flat. Fakenham-scorer Midnight's Gift is sure to make her presence felt along with hat-trick seeking Marada, while the thriving Cotton End is not ruled out lightly either in a cracking heat.

  1. MIRANDA (IRE)
