Verdict

SACRE COEUR has been knocking on the door in recent starts and might be up to notching a first win in Britain now. Wynn House shaped as if still in good form when fourth in a Cheltenham Class 2 in December and is feared most back from a short break. Glimpse of Gala has had a productive campaign and is another likely to have a say.
