In depth
Verdict
Mrs Be has the assistance of Polly Gundry and comes here fit enough from the point-to-point field, having won two of her last three starts, and in receipt of weight from her rivals, should prove up to the task in this hunters' chase, with Grizzly Golfwear and Game Gunner her main rivals. Polly Gundry keeps the ride on the mare who should like the ground and lines up on the back of a recent second at Larkhill. Grizzly Golfwear has been there or thereabouts in his recent points and last ran 17 days ago, but Game Gunner has not been out since beating Carbonado in a hunter chase at Cheltenham last April. Polly Gundry had the leg up then but rides the favourite here instead. Bets should be kept to a minimum, but if Mrs Be jumps well enough, she should prove to be the answer.
