In depth
Verdict
Young Lou has proved a consistent sort at this level lately, beating Milly Malone at Market Rasen two runs ago. She's still climbing the weights but Cathal Courtney again takes off 10lb. Ereyna is lightly raced and could figure if fully wound up while Double Accord was second here in November before pulling up on heavy going at the track next time. Tara Mac was third over course and distance in February but this could be the day that SUPREME HOPE finally comes good. She's been crying out for a step up in distance and jockey bookings suggest the Irish import is preferred to stable companion Apple Pops.
