Verdict

COTTIE has dropped to a dangerous mark judged on the pick of her Irish form and is worth chancing to stage a revival for a stable which very much targets these valuable handicap hurdles. Realisation and Shelikesthelights are unexposed opponents who could have more to offer, while Lone Star is back to the mark she defied when winning a nice prize at Musselburgh last spring.
