Verdict

Coillte Lass was receiving weight when beating DUSKY LEGEND over hurdles at Taunton around the turn of the year. Alan King’s mare reversed that form at Cheltenham in April, when her old rival was pulled up, and also beat Casablanca Mix. Wayne Hutchinson’s mount was too good for Copper Kay at Newbury earlier and looks the one to beat in this if her jumping is up to scratch. Morello Royale proved hard to place over hurdles and stays further but she has a touch of class and could play a part. Timeforwest could also be one to follow now tackling the larger obstacles and she has more scope than the majority of these.
