2/7
Very useful handicap hurdler that got off the mark over fences at the first attempt at Perth recently, showing a good attitude in the finish to deny Chitu a head. Jumped soundly in the main and has been found a weak race to follow up in here.

3/1
Was found an easy opportunity over hurdles in April and duly took it, and ran better than finishing position suggests at Worcester latest, appearing not to get home after holding every chance. Drop back in trip here a plus, and if jumping soundly, should take some prizemoney home.

100/1
Has been set some stiff tasks over fences so far but in truth hasn't been within hailing distance of the winner on either occasion, and needs this for a handicap mark. Looks to be playing for third, barring accidents.

20/1
Is at least a winner over fences, causing a minor shock when sent off the outsider of three at Towcester in May but made all to see off her rivals. Hasn't run to that level in two starts since and little chance of success here, even if coming back to her best.

Forecasts

Vosne Romanee (2/7), Stealing Mix (3/1), Rakaia Rosa (20/1), Valshan Time (100/1)

Verdict

On all we know, this looks an easy opportunity for VOSNE ROMANEE to follow up his Perth win with another. The yard hit form at the weekend and this looks another for them, with his rivals all having something to find on the figures. Stealing MIx may be the one for the forecast if he can put a clear round of jumping in. Rakaia Rosa can round off the trifecta.
  1. Vosne Romanee
  2. Stealing Mix
  3. Rakaia Rosa
