She landed a double in novice company earlier including a defeat of subsequent Ludlow winner Great Snow and Nicky Henderson’s mare gets another chance on her handicap debut. Just Sophie is another novice winner making her handicap bow while Corey's Courage scored in soft going at Huntingdon in March.
