Odds available with Betfair at time of writing....
2.30 Madam Harriet @ 7.4 - Showed a good attitude when winning a Chepstow slog early last month (runner-up gone in since); couple of respectable efforts subsequently, including on drying ground that wouldn´t have been ideal last time, and possibilities.
3.00 Lockstown @ 10.00 e/w - Point winner whose opening bumper fourth on similar ground hasn´t worked out; stiffer test could help now hurdling, though, and looks the main danger to Classic Chic.
3.30 Woodview @ 10.00 e/w - Has his own ideas about the game and followers will want to hold their breath at the start and over the first few fences (came down at the first last Monday); otherwise, is 15lb better off for half a length with Reckless Venture than over C&D last month.
4.00 Nolwenn @ 12.5 e/w - Heavy-ground Flat winner in France around 18 months ago who turned in a better effort on her second start for this yard back over hurdles last time; that was only a seller and a weak one but she´s got an each-way shout down to 95.
4.30 Nectar De Guye @ 19.00 e/w - Placed but no win in France and same story for Ferdy Murphy last season before a cheap sale; placed in four of seven points and it seems he finds winning a problem; modest form at 3m3f last term should not be good enough.
5.00 China House @ 3.6 - Half-brother to the yard´s Grand National winner Amberleigh House, who was quite happy on this sort of ground; another half-sibling, The Guarantor, won a couple of bumpers for Willie Mullins a few years ago.
