Chilli Filli⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 142| D

7/2

Useful chaser who enhanced good record fresh when staying on well to win listed race at Market Rasen on return. Good second at in similar event Newbury since and respected under a penalty.

Form: 2F61-12

Momella^p,t⁶⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 134| CD

10/1

Did well over fences last term, winning 3 times, including similar event over C&D. Behind Chilli Filli both starts this season, though, and looks vulnerable under a penalty.

Form: 1514-44

Snow Leopardess⁷¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 145| D

1/1

Took well to fences last season and looked better than ever when making all at Bangor on return. Backed that up with narrow win in Becher Chase at Aintree, again jumping superbly. Sets clear standard.

Form: 1246-11

Deja Vue²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 130| C| D

15/2

Point/hurdles winner who produced a career best when off the mark over fences in a novice at Exeter on return. Not disgraced back in a handicap at Lingfield since but more needed at this level.

Form: 222U-14

Destinee Royale²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 130| BF| D

14/1

Continued progress last term, winning in the mud at Wetherby and nearly defying 9 lb rise at Haydock. Still full of running when falling at Cheltenham on return but well held next time. Bit to find.

Form: U412-FP

Kapga De Lily⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Lucy Turner| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 140| D

15/2

Likeable sort who has improved again this season, landing handicaps at Ascot and Hereford. Disappointed when prominent in the market for similar event at Doncaster on return but worth another chance.

Form: 312-115

Top And Drop²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 119| D

80/1

Returned from 10 months off right on her game to land 3m handicap at Wetherby. Did too much too soon next time but this is asking a lot.

Form: 23/52-17

Forecasts

Snow Leopardess (1/1), Chilli Filli (7/2), Kapga De Lily (15/2), Deja Vue (15/2), Momella (10/1), Destinee Royale (14/1), Top And Drop (80/1)

SNOW LEOPARDESS has looked better than ever this season, jumping superbly from the front to win both her starts at Bangor and Aintree, and this is a good opportunity for her to complete the hat-trick back against her own sex. Kapga de Lily rates the main threat if her latest run can be forgiven, while Chilli Filli has a good record in these events.
