White Hart Lady has been well beaten twice in this grade since winning at Aintree. Coquelicot has won twice since upped to this trip but this can go to SABRINA (NAP). Paul Nicholls’ mare pulled well clear of Belle De Manech on just her second start and she will be even better suited by this longer trip. It took Bellevarde Express three attempts to get off the mark and Step To The Top is still seeking a first victory, though has placed in both starts to date.
