Majestic Moll¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: L P Aspell| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 131| D

9/4

Winner on debut over fences at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month. Pulled up in a Grade 2 contest subsequently and this looks a weaker event.

Form: 8-8141P

Rebel Yeats^p³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 125| D

11/4

Novices' handicap chase winner at Hexham (2m4f, good) in September. Fair third at Hereford (2m5f, good-to-firm) in a small field last time and interesting to see how she fares.

Form: 512313

Graceful Legend^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: C Poste| T: B I Case| OR: 130

6/1

Disappointing 17L third over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell (good) when debuting over fences recently. Likely to have improved for the experience.

Form: 61330-3

Jet Set^t²¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 125| C

15/8

Winner of a novice hurdle over an extended 2m4f on good ground here in April. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained for this chase debut.

Form: 322F01-

Stonebrigg Legend¹⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 71

100/1

11 race maiden and well beaten off a mark of 74 at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in a handicap hurdle in June. Looks outclassed on debut over fences.

Form: 377-385

Forecasts

Jet Set (15/8), Majestic Moll (9/4), Rebel Yeats (11/4), Graceful Legend (6/1), Stonebrigg Legend (100/1)

MAJESTIC MOLL should appreciate this drop in grade and she looks capable of taking this mares novices' chase. The selection disappointed in Grade 2 company last time and can get the better of her rivals here with Graceful Legend capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Rebel Yeats who won a handicap contest earlier this autumn.
