Verdict

A strong pace is guaranteed with MAIRE BANRIGH, Baddesley Knight and Grey Diamond all known for front-running or prominent racing tendencies. Chris Gordon appears to have a number of progressive novice chasers this season with Commanche Red winning (stablemate On The Slopes third) at Kempton on Boxing Day, so his charge deserves respect despite a 7lb rise in the weights. However, the selection is a fast and fluent fencer, and that'll surely give her an edge over the less experienced chasing newcomers Grey Diamond and Lust For Glory. Although needing a career best from a revised mark of 141, Dan Skelton's likeable seven-year-old mare is difficult to oppose.
