led but pressed, faltered jinked right and headed approaching 2 out, soon ridden and one pace, no chance with winner
awkward 1st, pressed leader, carried right approaching 2 out, soon no extra in 3rd
always last, outpaced and reminders 6th and before halfway, lost touch 8th, tailed off
tracked leading pair, hit 7th, closer next, led on inside approaching 2 out, soon clear, kept on strongly
Only a small field but this is far from straightforward. Tigeralley is the only one of these not to have won at the track and she fell on her only previous try over fences. Inch Lala has not run well since scoring here in December but any further rain would suit Midnight Walk. CHASMA likes it here and got back to winning ways at Newcastle last week. She is 7lb higher but still fairly treated on past form so gets the vote.
