Bridey's Lettuce (13/8), On Fire (2/1), Ms Gillard (3/1), Tambour (10/1), Absolute Angel (20/1), Slaying The Dragon (28/1), Dan's Hopeforglory (33/1), Heavenly Gait (100/1)
Ms Gillard boasts one standout piece of C&D form which ought to see her capable of taking this race with ease, but on the whole you can't quite help but wonder about her winning mentality. In truth this is a truly desperate maiden in which the likes of Class 6 handicap regular Bridey's Lettuce and Sedgefield bumper winner Absolute Angel can't be comfortably ruled out. Despite some concerns about dropping back in trip, ON FIRE gets the vote for Middleham Moor trainer James Bethell who sports a healthy 9 from 34 (26%) record here on Tapeta.
1. On Fire
2. Ms Gillard
3. Bridey's Lettuce
