MAJESTIC MOLL made a hash of the first few fences in a Grade 2 contest at Wincanton last time and her rider wasted no time in pulling her up. But Emma Lavelle’s mare had jumped well enough to win at Worcester on last month’s chasing debut and gets another chance back at this level. Rebel Yeats struggled in a handicap last time having won at Hexham earlier while Graceful Legend was well beaten on her chasing bow at Fontwell though is not out of this on today’s terms. Jet Set and Stonebrigg Legend look up against it unless proving much better over the larger obstacles than they are over timber.
