A tricky small-field affair and it may pay to side with SHIROCCO’S DREAM. Probably best excused her Taunton run last month, she’d previously impressed with her jumping when scoring on chase debut at Huntingdon in February and it would come as no surprise to see her bounce back. Easy Bangor winner Emmpressive Lady can emerge as the chief threat.

LAZY SUNDAY tanked along when completing the hat-trick at Ffos Las last time and appeals as one who can go on to better things again as a chaser, so is fancied to extend her winning sequence. Triple Trade might be one who needs plenty to drop right but he arrives after a trio of positive efforts and merits respect, whilst Dreaming Blue also can’t be ruled out after his Doncaster success

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority.

BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards In addition Wincanton Racecourse employs three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital

The centre of the course viewing is available to all Premier enclosure ticket holders.
