Harriet Tucker, heroine of the Foxhunter at Cheltenham, can find her way back into the winner’s enclosure here on board MONSIEUR GIBRALTAR. Her mount has been in fine form between the flags and has won five times under Rules, including this race 12 months ago. Midnight Cowboy made a winning reappearance in an Open at Ampton and rates the danger on his past form over fences. Marinero was out of his depth at Cheltenham but has stronger claims in this and Deadly Sting ran well for second over this trip at Ffos Las. Kilfinichen Bay may be best of the rest.
