Miah Grace (1/1), Legends Ryde (11/10), Stainsby Girl (6/1), Sophie Fatale (12/1), Baby Jane (66/1), Milanvera (66/1), Frankies Fire (80/1), Peace Approved (200/1), Heatherlea (200/1)

Verdict

Both Stainsby Girl and Sophie Fatale should prove capable of winning similar races over hurdles, but the form book essentially indicates that this is a straight match between the smooth C&D winner Miah Grace and the Jamie Snowden-trained hurdles debutante LEGENDS RYDE. The selection was a talented mare in bumpers, and after hacking up at Carlisle in October she finished second in a Listed contest at Cheltenham. Her trainer is 4-6 (67%) at Hexham this season, with his winners including the sadly ill-fated Shantewe and the promising duo Kiltealy Briggs and Thomas Macdonagh.
