7/2
Four-time winner who shaped as if straight back in some form when third of 8 at Market Rasen (23f) last month, time likely to show she had a bit on with the younger pair who drew clear. Handicapper drops her a couple and by no means out of things down in grade.

5/1
Four-time winner for Dan Skelton who returned to form when fourth of 5 at Hereford (3¼m, good) last month. However, she was easily brushed aside by the sole other finisher at Fontwell (2¾m, good) since and there are still questions to answer about getting this trip.

3/1
Responded well to first-time blinkers when winning at Taunton (3m, good) in April before following up in a weak 5-runner event at Stratford (3¼m, good to soft) last month, flattered by the winning margin. Up a further 6 lb and looks one to take on bidding for a hat-trick.

2/1
Continued her growing positive record at Fontwell when winning 9-runner event there (2¾m, good) last month but denied the chance to follow up by unseating at the seventh there 18 days later. Upped in trip and every chance she can regain the winning thread.

7/1
Maiden in this sphere but bounced back to form reverted to fences after 4 months off when second of 6 at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Yard saddled 3 winners last weekend and she could well be a danger if translating that back over the smaller obstacles.

Forecasts

Miss Goldfire (2/1), Jena D'oudairies (3/1), Porter In The Park (7/2), Queens Venture (5/1), Just A Memory (7/1)

Verdict

Jena d'Oudairies will no doubt be popular bidding for a hat-trick but she may have to play second fiddle to MISS GOLDFIRE, who was denied the chance to supplement her recent Fontwell success when unseating last time and Harry Fry's 7-y-o may well have more to offer over staying trips. Just A Memory represents a yard red-hot form and can capitalise should the main protagonists fail to deliver.
