Winning pointer has taken to chasing quickly, improving second start to just fail at Wetherby over Christmas. Pair well clear then and must have a huge chance off same mark.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Mason| OR: 91

Money Maid (3/1), Monderon (5/1), Gardiners Hill (7/1), Tutchec (7/1), You Too Pet (8/1), Kapricorne (9/1), Gale Force Oscar (10/1), Try It Sometime (16/1), Minmore Oscar (16/1), What A Joke (25/1), Magical Man (33/1), Herr Larry Hewis (33/1), Musical Wedge (50/1), Wellforth (50/1), Bus Named Desire (50/1)

MONEY MAID just failed to up at Wetherby last time and races off the same mark now on just a third chase start, every chance she can open her account here. Gale Force Oscar was backed to improve at Southwell a month ago and almost got the job done, he has his chance here if repeating. You Too Pet made a good start for this yard last month and deserves respect on the back of that while Kapricorne is a danger if building on his recent Huntingdon effort. Monderon was running a good race on his reappearance when brought down and merits going on the shortlist here too. 1. Money Maid 2. Gale Force Oscar 3. Monderon
