Verdict
LITTERALE CI’s last win over hurdles was more than three years ago but she races off the same mark today and rarely runs a bad race. Aine O’Connor’s mount can get the better of the returning Sacre Coeur and Une De La Seniere, who has also had a break. This might be too far for Cubswin but Cotton End has claims as, like Yeavering Belle, she is a past winner here.
