Verdict
Runner-up Zialight didn’t frank the form of GARANCE FOREVER’s hurdles win at Auteuil in March last week but it is still difficult to get away from Guillaume Macaire’s filly in this as she makes her chasing bow. Sacre Coeur wasn’t beaten far when fourth on her chasing debut at Toulouse 12 days ago and looks a danger and La Bondue still has plenty of scope. Shannon Vale Rose had a couple of runs over the larger obstacles at Fontainebleau in the autumn but is held by Blain and Golden Park on her form over hurdles.
