Fantastic Lady
Selected at: 3/1

Fantastic Lady isn’t always the most consistent performer but she has more than enough ability to win this if on a going day. Her two-and-a-half-length victory in the Oaksey Chase at Sandown in April is the best form on offer and the weights suggests she’s in a good position.

Verdict

Apple Away's rather lacklustre show in November may hand the initiative to LADY BALKO who has been transformed over fences.

Betting Forecast:

2/1 Apple Away,

11/4 Fantastic Lady,

Lady Balko,

5/1 Don't Rightly Know,

10/1 Smiling Getaway
