Verdict

DEMOISELLE KAP made it 2 from 2 for Jennie Candlish when scoring easily at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, jumping accurately making her first chase start in Britain, and she can land the hat-trick in her current form. The main danger could be Royal King, who showed fair form in France and shaped encouragingly back over fences last time, ahead of Smart Casual.
