Race preview
ETAMINE DU COCHET was second to We Have A Dream on debut at Warwick last year and has followed that effort up with two solid performances in defeat more recently. If running to her mark, Dan Skelton's 119-rated performer could feasibly open her account. Nicky Henderson's Trull La La is expected to know her job first time out and is worth monitoring in the betting, likewise point-to-point winner Malachys Girl.
