If there's one that could be very well-in in this field then it's surely LA MARQUISE, a dual bumper winner, who'd looked very progressive prior to shaping as if amiss at Newbury in December and is liable to bounce back now returning with her yard amongst the winners. Diplomatie is a prolific winner in Jersey and looks most interesting of the opposition having rejoined Harry Derham.
