9/4
Up 5lb today for going close over 2m4f at Ffos Las (soft) last time and likely to be able to find some improvement, so should be a leading contender here.

Aces Over Eightsp33
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-10| J: J E Moore| T: Kerry Lee| OR:  103
11/2
Both wins have been around the stiff Towcester circuit on good to firm and good to soft, and again showed a penchant for today's forecast conditions when runner-up at Ludlow last time over 2m4f. Races from the same mark today and capable of going close for a yard with a good strike rate here.

Money Maid41
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR:  102
9/4
Runner-up in four of her last six starts both over hurdles and more recently fences. Another 2lb rise is not going to assist her in breaking that sequence, despite good form of her stable at the moment.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: R P McLernon| T: Jamie Snowden| OR:  99
9/1
Previously rated 116 in Ireland over hurdles, so could be well handicapped here after a promising chasing introduction at Wincanton last time (2m4f, soft). Sole win under rules was on yielding ground, so forecast conditions should suit and she looks a leading player from a very workable mark with first-time cheek pieces.

5/1
Both hurdles wins were over 2m4f on soft. Wasn't running badly at all on her Catterick chase debut last month before unseating and couldn't rule her out with a clear round from what is probably a fair mark.

Frank N Fair20
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-11| J: Frankie Penford(10)| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR:  90
25/1
Put together back-to-back wins last spring on both heavy and good going and was competitive in a novices' chase at Fontwell in November when unfancied, though has raced twice over hurdles since. Should be reasonably competitive from this mark, though may find a couple too good.
7
Horse silk
Shyt21
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-6| J: Jan Faltejsek| T: G A Charlton| OR:  87
22/1
Runner-up in a Hexham bumper last spring, though never in it in eight subsequent races, the most recent of which was her chase debut at Carlisle. Hard to fancy unless the market speaks in her favour.

Forecasts

Money Maid (9/4), Top And Drop (9/4), Chasma (5/1), Aces Over Eights (11/2), Mollyanna (9/1), Massini's Lady (12/1), Lilly's Legend (20/1), Shy (22/1), Frank N Fair (25/1)

14:30 Wetherby - 21 February 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Top And Drop has to shoulder top weight and will need to improve to do so successfully, but has decent claims here, as could Aces Over Eights. However, preference is for MOLLYANNA, who could be well handicapped and she is given the vote in the hope that the cheekpieces have a positive effect. 1. Mollyanna 2. Top And Drop 3. Aces Over Eights
