Verdict

This can go the way of HOPHORNBEAM, who maintained her unbeaten record since changing yards at Punchestown last month and Gordon Elliott's charge could easily have plenty more to offer. Some Dove heads into handicaps still relatively unexposed so she's the one that's fancied to give the selection most to think about, with Wild Caprice a solid each-way candidate.

  1. HOPHORNBEAM (IRE)
