NINE GRACES made what was effectively a race-ending mistake 2 out on her course recent chase debut and can be given another chance to translate her useful hurdle ability to fences. Jasmin de Cotte made a sound start to his chase career when third at Down Royal last month and is second choice ahead of Henry de Bromhead chase newcomer Easy Fella.
