VERDICT: Kargese has been beaten by two high-class types when finishing second in both the Triumph Hurdle and when pulling too hard in an Aintree Grade 1 last month, so could take some beating if settling better. She raced three times in France so has vast experience for a juvenile, is ground-versatile and holds six of today's rivals on previous form, including nearest-pursuers at Cheltenham Nurburgring (fourth) and Storm Heart (fifth). All of Bottler'secret's form is on easy ground and while he defeated Karl Des Tourelles by just under four lengths lengths at Fairyhouse over Easter, he is 3lb worse off with that rival today. With that in mind, Karl Des Tourelles could turn tables, as he is less exposed and open to a fraction more progression.
