    In depth

    Verdict

    Sacre Coeur won twice in France at the start of last summer but this is a tough start to her career in the UK following a lay-off while Northern Beau has it all to do at the weights. The in-form ZAMBELLA is getting 2lb from Cut The Mustard and probably has more scope than the former Willie Mullins inmate, though the latter has also won at this level and placed in Grade 2 and Grade 3 races.
