In depth
Verdict
Joyeuse beat some useful newcomers when scoring at Market Rasen last time out , running on strongly to repel the persistent challenges of a couple of well supported Jonjo O'Neill mares. She is taken as the TEAMtalk selection to defy a penalty before beginning a career over hurdles. Applepie Lady put in some solid efforts last season without getting her head in front. She should run well but may just need this debut outing of the season. Upon A Thyne is an interesting newcomer from a yard who can do well in this type of event. Market moves would be significant for her chances.
