Wilde Spirit remains without a win after 18 starts and makes her chasing bow. Jubilympics won off a higher mark over fences last year and has a recent outing under her belt but this can go to LOST IN MONTMARTE. Placed over fences the last twice including at Stratford last week, Alastair Ralph’s mare looks to have a good opportunity to land her first win over fences.
