10/3

Returned to form following a couple of tame performances when runner-up in a 3½m Ffos Las handicap chase (good) last month. On a fair mark and should make her presence felt.

Found On¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 123| C| D

5/4

Dual winner over hurdles and has got her act together in this sphere of late, bagging handicap chases at Market Rasen (21.4f) and at this course (22.5f) the last twice. Another bold show anticipated, despite 8 lb rise for latest success.

Form: 96361-1

Delight Of Dubai²²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: Noel Williams| OR: 120| D

14/1

Won twice at Newton Abbot last summer, but she was pulled up at Worcester when last seen in September and will probably come on for the run.

Form: 2/3121P-

Miss Jeanne Moon^p⁶⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107

2/1

Hurdles winner who has yet to strike over fences, but she has finished runner-up on three of her five starts in this sphere, going close off this mark at Fontwell (3¼m, good) last time. Big player.

Form: 3/24522-

Forecasts

Found On (5/4), Miss Jeanne Moon (2/1), Legends Gold (10/3), Delight Of Dubai (14/1)

MISS JEANNE MOON is the only member of the quartet yet to win a race over fences, but there's nothing wrong with her application and the form of her Fontwell near miss received a boost when the winner followed up at the same course next time. In receipt of plenty of weight from her three rivals, she will prove a tough nut to crack. The hat-trick seeking Found On is second choice ahead of Legends Gold.
