This should be plain sailing for DOLCITA, last seen finishing second in a Grade 2 mares’ race at the Cheltenham Festival in March. She’s among a batch of jumpers that have transferred to Paul Nicholls from Willie Mullins and there are more races to be won with the five-year-old. Getaway Totherock is held on the form book but can chase her home at a respectable distance.
