In depth
Verdict
MOLLY CAREW got no further than the second fence in a Listed chase at Exeter last time. But she’d won a handicap at Taunton before that and this looks no tougher despite a 5lb rise. Gipsy Lee Rose was placed yet again when third at Ayr and gets a change of headgear while several are looking to put below par efforts behind them. Drewmain Legend won over hurdles in November and is 2lb higher back over fences while Tokaramore placed here before well beaten over timber and Leverock Lass was the only one to finish at Wetherby on her penultimate start.
