After a promising start over fences, things went awry for MISS SARENNE at Nicky Henderson's yard last season. She has her first start for Niall Madden today but could be well handicapped and it's certainly interesting that AP McCoy has chosen her ahead of the same owner's Stakers and Diophas. It's usually worth opposing Killarney second Sox's Girl, while Swift Counsel probably needs a little further help from the assessor before he rediscovers the winning habit and Jigalo is still 10lb higher than when beating Banna Man at Gowran a year ago.
