Off time: 13:25 | Winning time: 5m 13.3s

All Currencies²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 127

25/1

Showed fairly useful form when won mares novices at Worcester and Newbury in 2017/18, and likely to be all the better for an introductory run over fences at Bangor last month.

Form: 13417-4

Atlanta Ablaze³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly| OR: 131

5/1

Progressive on a sound surface over fences, winning at Bangor and Hereford. Far from disgraced when third to Ron's Dream in a listed contest at Market Rasen last time, and not without chances here.

Form: 253113

Belle Empress²⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 124

25/1

Won in point-to-points prior to jumping hurdles, and best effort over timber when winning at Fontwell in March. Bit to find upped in class for chase debut, but ought to do better in this sphere than over timber.

Form: 1/531-

Graceful Legend^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: B I Case| OR: 127

33/1

Beat Jester Jet over hurdles at Ascot and made a pleasing start over fences. Tended to jump left when 25L third of 5 to Majestic Moll in mares novice at Huntingdon last time, however, and opposable for all this track may suit better.

Form: 1330-33

Jester Jet²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: T Lacey| OR: 142| D

8/13

Won a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Aintree in April, and has come up against a pair of smart sorts in her chase starts so far, running really well to be second each time. The one to beat on balance.

Form: 217-222

Mrs Lovett¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: G Elliott| OR: 125| D

6/1

Has taken well to fences, winning at Thurles and Fairyhouse on last two starts, but latest win came off a mark of 118, and she will need further improvement to get competitive here, for all runners from her yard always merit respect.

Form: 1-32411

Rebel Yeats¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams| OR: 125| C| D

10/1

Won at Hexham in September, and similar form when 1L second to Majestic Moll at Huntingdon last time. Not out of it, but clearly vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Form: 123132

Forecasts

Jester Jet (8/13), Atlanta Ablaze (5/1), Mrs Lovett (6/1), Rebel Yeats (10/1), All Currencies (25/1), Belle Empress (25/1), Graceful Legend (33/1)

JESTER JET has run into a couple of smart prospects on her first two starts over fences, and she should be able to make it third time lucky. Mrs Lovett is respected coming from the powerful yard of Gordon Elliott, but she does have something to find, as does Atlanta Ablaze, who is nonetheless going the right way.
