Those with experience already look a little on the weak side so it may be left to chasing newcomers MISS SAPPHIRE who is a dual novice hurdle winner from the Willie Mullins yard and the Gordon Elliott-trained Caltex to battle it out at the business end of the contest with the Flemensfirth mare just gaining the upper hand. Black Warrior, who acts on the ground can run in to a place.
