Modest chaser who was in the process of running well when departing heavily at the last at Musselburgh 58 days ago, shaping clear second best. Multiple point winner, runner-up earlier this month.

7-y-o mare who won last 3 of 5 starts in points. Shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests on Rules bow when third in hunter chase at Kelso (23.4f, heavy), finishing tired.

Prolific in points and duly left her chasing debut form behind after a wind op when second of 4 in hunter chase at Stratford (22.6f, good) 12 days ago. Can build on that here.

2/7
The up-and-comer in the line-up, winning last 5 starts in points. Second of 17 in hunter chase at Warwick (24f) on NH debut 86 days ago, closing all way to line. Will improve so rates the one to beat.

Multiple point winner who made a positive start under Rules when third at Ludlow in January. Not in same form there a couple of months later but has since finished runner-up in a point. Each-way hope.

Consistent sort for Jonjo O'Neill and good second in 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen back from 7 months off last July. Little impact this year (including in points) so best watched on yard debut.

Forecasts

Highway Jewel (2/7), Miss Seagreen (8/1), Fishy Story (12/1), Tuff Nano (18/1), Absainte (20/1), Phoenix Rock (22/1), African Belle (33/1), Berboru (33/1)

Verdict

This looks to revolve around prolific winning pointer HIGHWAY JEWEL, who made an encouraging debut in this sphere when runner-up at Warwick in February and could be tough to beat with improvement on the cards. Miss Seagreen could give her most to think about having finished runner-up in a point recently, ahead of African Belle.

  1. HIGHWAY JEWEL (IRE)
  2. MISS SEAGREEN
  3. AFRICAN BELLE
