Henry Daly has won four of the last six renewals so any market support for Saga Succes should be noted as she has plenty of scope. Trull La La is the only one making her racecourse debut but she has a nice pedigree and represents the champion trainer. Etamine Du Cochet hasn’t been beaten far in either start over hurdles so far but she has been favourite on both occasions. Malachys Girl, a winner between the flags, ran well in a Cheltenham bumper on her debut under Rules but LEGENDS GOLD may have her measure. Also a winning pointer, she should be cherry-ripe after runs in bumpers at Aintree and Cheltenham with the step up in trip in her favour.
