Plenty in with a squeak but CORNERKOVA arrives chasing a hat-trick, and with Henry de Bromhead's charge barely having had to break sweat to score at Tipperary a fortnight ago, she looks the way to go with further improvement on the cards. Robinnia heads the opposition on handicap debut/return, with the selection's stablemate Zarkareva and top-weight Exit Poll another couple worth considering.
