TIERRA VERDE shaped encouragingly from a long way back when fourth on chasing debut late last year and, having run with credit in a jumpers bumper subsequently, she's worth chancing in a weak race despite her advancing years. The in-form Hold Me Tight is a danger, while Vue Cavaliere could take a hand if she's fully tuned up.
