A few of these mares look a fraction vulnerable for various reasons including the returning pair of Twenty Eight Guns and Song Saa (high in the weights). Pemba was a beaten favourite at Huntingdon recently and she has yet to break her duck over fences, but having appeared a shade one paced is probably worth trying over further. However, VIKING MISTRESS looks the horse to side with given her previous course experience (hurdles and fences). This shorter trip of 2m4f promises to suit her well, and despite a 5lb higher mark, a similar effort to her latest start last month (2m7f) ought to prove good enough with the added bonus of the champion jockey Richard Johnson now being on her back.
