PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
A competitive winners of two for the novice riders. DEDUDEFROMHOUSTON sets the standard following her excellent effort in the GAIN Mares Final and looks the one to beat if turning out again quickly. Depalma also arrives in good form after his recent Ballycrystal success, whilst Sir Topham Hatt is another progressive type who could have more to offer. Call Of Freedom commands respect, with Kiwi De Cotte and Supreme Force others to consider in an open contest.
