Verdict
Ruby Yeats hasn’t been in the best of form but is eased in grade. Llantara is undoubtedly well treated nowadays but hasn’t won in almost three years and was particularly disappointing on her reappearance considering she had conditions to suit. DAME DU SOIR is back over hurdles after a spell chasing and is 2lb lower than when scoring over the smaller obstacles here less than a year ago. She can give the weight away to less-exposed Bangor winner Lady Tremaine.
