Verdict

UFOURIA shaped promisingly when runner-up at this C&D on debut, the winner going on to land a Grade 2 mares' novice chase this season, and having had excuses next time she is worth another chance on her return. She is preferred to Early Bird who is one to note on debut, while Forceonmyown is an interesting contender on first start for Gordon Elliott.

  1. UFOURIA (IRE)
