2/5
Impressive winner of a mares hunter chases over this trip at Cheltenham on her hunter chase debut earlier this month. Had some solid form in point-to-point company prior to that and has a good chance of defying her penalty here.

Pulled up in hunter chases the last twice including in a race won by Frelia at Cheltenham last month. Wears a tongue tie for the first time today. More needed if she's to take this.

50/1
Dual winner at Tyrella in Ireland in 2013. Disappointed in the main since joining this stable and well beaten over shorter when fifth in hunter chase at Sedgefield (good) earlier this month. Wears a hood for the first time today.

5/2
Winner over hurdles in 2014 and seem rejuvenated having joined this yard earlier this season. Easy winner of both of her point-to-point outings so far this year including under today's jockey at Garthorpe (good) last month. Likely to run well again today.

Forecasts

Frelia (2/5), Queen Olivia (5/2), Florella (10/3), Distracted (16/1), Onceuponathyme (50/1)

Verdict

QUEEN OLIVIA has won both of her point-to-point starts this year and can register a first hunter chase success at the expense of Frelia here. The latter was successful at Cheltenham last time out but has to carry a penalty here with third place taken to go the way of the lightly raced Florella who ran well on her first run for over three years earlier this month.
  1. Queen Olivia
  2. Frelia
  3. Florella
