Verdict

CHERIE D'AM coped very well with testing conditions at Aintree over Christmas and might be the way to go in this Grade 2 mares' novice. Nicky Henderson pair Either Or (the mount of Nico de Boinville) and Aston Martini head the dangers in a contest where a case can be made for the majority of runners.

  1. CHERIE D'AM (FR)
  2. EITHER OR (IRE)
  3. ASTON MARTINI
