Verdict

An opening handicap mark of 117 could underestimate the unbeaten COREY'S COURAGE who can take her career record to 5-5. Speech Bubble has clear top weight but it's merited given that she gave recent Cheltenham Festival winner Love Envoi something to think about in a Sandown Grade 2 last time and she's feared most. Holly Hartingo, who will be suited by the step back up in trip, and the Paul Nicholls-trained Sabrina also make the shortlist.

  1. COREY'S COURAGE
  2. SPEECH BUBBLE (IRE)
  3. HOLLY HARTINGO (IRE)
