RACE SUMMARY:

RAFFLES GITANE was well on top at the finish when opening her chase account at Huntingdon and, with the runner-up having gone in since, Harry Whittington’s mare is fancied to defy a 7lb rise here. Nebuchadnezzar looked to have ironed out his jumping problems when scoring at Wincanton so is feared most, with chasing-debutant Bob’s Bar not discounted either.
