In depth

Verdict

No Willie Mullins' runner can be ignored at present and Uranna will almost certainly improve again on her victory in a Limerick maiden. Broxbourne was third in this grade at Newbury in November and the extra half-mile will suit. Barry Geraghty prefers her to Hel Tara and she makes more appeal than the four-year-old Saint Lucy, though the latter's Catterick second may turn out to be decent form. Rons Dream beat Gabriella Rose by eight lengths at Newbury and also comes into the reckoning while connections have found Theregoesthetruth's best trip. BALLYHOLLOW travelled and jumped well when making all over 3m at Ludlow. She looks progressive and her proven stamina will stand her in good stead on this stiff track so she gets a tentative vote.
