      Verdict

      Multigifted, four times a winner on the Flat including once over 2m, looks to have every chance of opening her account over timber on her handicap debut. But preference is for D’ARCY’S SOUND, who has a 7lb claimer to help reduce his burden and has been quite highly tried so far in novice events. Rainy Day Dylan was second in a maiden here last March but Jaune Et Bleue may find it tough going having not raced since the 2016 Cheltenham Festival, though her yard has found some form.
