NR	Classic Lady Chestnut J:TBC T:Mark Walford	J: T:Mark Walford	142	t	32/978	74	-	-	22d	—	—	—	6	—	—
Point winner; shown little over hurdles; this looks more suitable even though 8lb 'wrong'.

Dual C&D winner; out of sorts lately; reasonably weighted if an added visor helps.
2	Gipsy Lee Rose Grey J:Bruce Lynn(3) T:N W Alexander	J:Bruce Lynn(3) T:N W Alexander	164	tv	323562	96	108	60	12d	—	—	—	18.4	—	—
C&D winner; second (beaten 25l by Kildrum) on recent return from wind surgery; needs more.

Ran well when third at Wetherby (3m) on penultimate start; lacklustre at Uttoxeter since.

Made light work of Gipsy Lee Rose over C&D recently (25l winner); can handle an 11lb rise.
