Racing Post verdict
Third-partyNoel Meade's BILLIE FRECHETTE has shown promise in both previous chase starts and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark in this sphere. Jane Eire can't be discounted given the form of her yard. The recent Cork Derby winner Londonofficecallin and Chichester Park appeal most of the remainder. [Dave Stephens]
