Verdict

BALLINGERS CORNER has a long absence to overcome but scored on her debut over hurdles and wouldn't be the first new inmate of Venetia Williams' yard to make a winning chasing debut so gets the nod. The consistent Fortunes Melody rates the obvious threat, with La Renommee another in-form mare who can have a say.
