In depth
Verdict
Koroleva is carrying a penalty for her Cork bumper victory and has been a short-priced beaten favourite on her two runs over timber, the latest when disappointing at Kilbeggan. This doesn't look the toughest of assignments but in receipt of 11lb including jockey claims HARRYS GIFT may have her measure. She's now had eight start over timber and has finished runner-up over 2m and 3m so today's interim distance may be enough for her to lose her maiden tag. The Princetonian started favourite on her hurdling bow at Down Royal but found the minimum trip against her while Our Roxane is another who may be suited by stepping up.
