Fontaine Collonges (11/4), Timeless Beauty (10/3), Rose Of Arcadia (4/1), Precious Eleanor (13/2), Vienna Court (12/1), Jubilympics (14/1), Dame du Soir (16/1), Pretty Little Liar (16/1), Molly Carew (25/1), Methodtothemadness (25/1), Oriental Cross (66/1)

Verdict

FONTAINE COLLONGES has a very positive profile for Venetia Williams, confirming the abundant promise of her chase debut effort when scoring in good style at Warwick (20f) last month. A 7 lb higher mark looks fair and she gets the nod to follow up. Progressive-hurdler Rose of Arcadia has all the hallmarks of one who will do better over fences and is feared. Precious Eleanor completes the shortlist.

  1. FONTAINE COLLONGES (FR)
  2. ROSE OF ARCADIA (IRE)
  3. PRECIOUS ELEANOR (FR)
