4/5

Registered his fourth hunter chase success when winning over C&D on good-to-soft ground last month. Henry Crow is on board once more and he is an interesting runner in this.

Form: 18U-P31

10/3

Progressive point-to-pointer last year and ended that season with a victory in a hunter chase at Stratford (good). Disapponting twice this time around however and more needed if he's to take this.

Form: 3/1-11P7

Queen Olivia^h¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Leanda Tickle⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss V Collins| OR: 101| D

5/2

Winner of a mares hunter chase at Fontwell (soft) last May and put a disappointing seasonal debut behind her when finishing runner-up to a useful rival over 2m4f here earlier this month. One to note in this contest.

Forecasts

Mr Mercurial (4/5), Monsieur Gibraltar (10/11), Queen Olivia (5/2), Bay Sly (10/3)

MONSIEUR GIBRALTAR has won five of his seven races when partnered by jockey Lorcan Williams and the partnership can register their sixth victory by taking this four runner hunter chase. Queen Olivia looked the most likely winner for much of the home straight here last time and she can claim third ahead of Mr Mercurial who has won twice over C&D in the past.
