Verdict

GALIA DES LITEAUX, a £70,000 purchase after winning her sole point in October, looks to have been found a good starting point over hurdles by her top yard and is preferred to standard-setter Sashenka, who can be expected to bounce back to top form now returning to calmer waters. Ballybough Mary has the scope on bumper form to leave her opening effort in this sphere behind and is also a threat.

  2. SASHENKA (GER)
  3. BALLYBOUGH MARY (IRE)
