Verdict

The mare TAKE NO CHANCES left the strong impression that this step back up in trip would be right up her street when sixth under a big weight on return in a strong Chepstow handicap three weeks ago. She probably doesn't need to improve much on what she showed when placed in Grade 1s at the Cheltenham and Aintree spring festivals in order to go very close in this contest. Strong Leader will be a big threat if ready to roll, while Winter Fog and Potters Charm add extra spice to an intriguing race.

  1. TAKE NO CHANCES (IRE)
