Doyle bresbet ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Veteran mare who landed back-to-back points in May. First past the post in 25.5f hunter chase at Cartmel in June (disqualified owing to weight cloth falling off) and whilst below best over hurdles since, a better showing not ruled out back over fences here.

Br Gr m Presenting - Wassailing Queen O Mr J. Reed

Brendan Powell J Joe Tizzard, Sherborne T B Barrow Hill Coral Racing Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW 8-yo who has got her act together over fences, landing back-to-back C&D novice handicap events in recent months. Shaping only second best when left in front latterly but she shouldn’t be underestimated in another small-field affair from 1lb higher. TFRHHHHH BHA96

Debra Hamer, Carmarthen T B R. B. Mckay Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Hurdles winner for Tristan Davidson who was well served by hold-up tactics when cruising clear to make a winning yard/chase debut at Ffos Las (23.8f) 31 days ago. Hit with a 10lb rise but she’s low-mileage in this sphere. Respected. TFRHHHHI BHA92

PLAY SMARTER

MY LADY GREY looked booked for second when left in front 2 out over C&D 26 days ago, yet that shouldn’t detract from the fact she’s looked more convincing over fences in recent months and, from a 1lb higher mark, she could be the answer. Easy Ffos Las scorer Cresswell Queen may emerge next best ahead of Grageelagh Girl. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.MY LADY GREY 2.CRESSWELL QUEEN 3.GRAGEELAGH GIRL (IRE)
