Truckers Lady has found an ideal oppertunity to deservedly get off the mark having gone close on her three outings this season. Keith Reveleys' mare bravely attempted to make all the running at Carlisle going down to what is potentially a smart chaser in Minister Shadow. Ground and trip hold no fears hear therefore she is a confident choice in receipt of all the allowances. Chef De Cour is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection but steps into unknown territory with regard to the trip. He has had just the one outing to date over fences, finishing third in a contest won by Wee Forbees. A close eye should be kept on Gypsy George who eye catchingly stayed on into second in a what appeared an above average Beginners' Chase at Sedgefield. He has some smart sorts behind him and handicaps will certainly be within his range. Truckers Lady looks a cut above the rest and is selected to do the business.
