Stanley Stanley started favourite for her racecourse debut in a Kempton bumper but weakened quickly in the straight. Better will be expected here while Hunter's Dawn made errors at Hereford and will need to jump better. Lunar Bounty has only looked moderate in two starts over timber but improved when narrowly beaten on the Flat at Kempton last month. Table Mountain won a 2m handicap on the Flat at Ascot though that was on fast going. She was in the lead at this trip before fading when tackling 2m3f at Huntingdon last time. GILBERTINA hasn't done much wrong in her four starts over timber and her second to the favourite Homme Public at Market Rasen last time would probably be good enough for this.
Gilbertina 4-1 (10-5) Led, headed briefly 3rd, pushed along and headed approaching 2 out, stayed on in clear 2nd, no chance with winner, 2nd of 9, 6 1/2l behind Homme Public (10-12) at Market Rasen 2m 1f mdn (4) sft in Feb.
