DOURYNA would have gone very close had she not fallen at the last on her reappearance at Chepstow. Providing that experience hasn't dented her confidence, Colin Tizzard's mare can make amends in this. Marias Rock overcame a lengthy absence to score at Plumpton and is probably still on a fair mark but Corredor Sun and stable companion Noble Aran continue to disappoint, though a drop in distance is probably in the latter's favour. Walk Tall hinted at ability at Bangor last time and is preferred to the frustrating Fongoli of the remainder.
