In depth

Verdict

This is probably a decent maiden as it features three potentially useful recruits from the point-to-point circuit as well as Colin's Sister, who was only beaten half-a-length in a Listed bumper at Sandown in March. Coillte Lass won at Dromahane in April and has since joined Paul Nicholls while Milan Express justified favouritism at Grennan in May and is now with Kim Bailey. LOST IN LECCE was cantering all over her rivals at Dingley in May when coming to grief. She has a superb pedigree for jumping and can make amends here on her first run for Philip Hobbs.
