SACRE COEUR, in front when falling at Ludlow last month, had Royal Practitioner and Hotter Than Hell behind when runner-up to the in-form Electric Annie at Wincanton in January. She is only a pound higher here and could be the answer to a tricky puzzle with Jonjo O’Neill Jr replacing a conditional. Peltwell was unbeaten in seven starts last year and beat Blue Hawaii in the last of those at Southwell in December. The prolific Lime Drop and Voice Of Calm are closely matched on latest Hereford running but the latter is much worse off at the weights with Megan than at Newbury in December in a race in which Cup Of Coffee was unplaced. Merry Mistress beat Getbazoutofhere at Doncaster before winning at Wincanton but has been raised a further 5lb ahead of her hat-trick bid.
