Race Overview
LOLITA DES MOTTES (5) ran on from out of the pack to finish an encouraging 3rd on debut and, with the benefit of that experience, ought to improve to fight for victory. David Cottin-trained runners MELODY NELSON (1) and ROYAL PALOMA (3) also showed promise on debut, so are likely to give the selection most to fear. Newcomer DIAMOND'S SAGA (7) has an appealing jumps pedigree and shouldn't be underestimated.
Selection:
5 - 1 - 3
