Stephanie Frances won for the second time over fences over course and distance last month but was again far from foot-perfect. She's a useful mare on her day but has to concede 24lb hereto the four-year-old REJAAH, who made a respectable start over the larger obstacles behind Hammersly Lake at Market Rasen and will know more today. Destiny's Gold has been a regular here this summer and has won a bumper and a hurdle but tackles fences for the first time today.
