Marilyn And Millie's Retirement Handicap Steeple Chase (gbb Race)

Won two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, Quick Sharpener arrives here as the top-rated runner in this field; the 57-day break and a recent unplaced effort are the only notes of caution, but his class — underlined by a rating of 128 — makes him the one to beat.

Lady Kara arrives on the back of three wins in her last five starts, including back-to-back victories two and three starts back, and has experience of today's trip and conditions; the unseating last time out is the one question connections must answer.

Thickthorn Tom has won two of his last two starts and boasts three wins in his last five, with experience over today's trip and going adding confidence; the main concern is 42 days off since that latest victory.

It's A Breeze has won his last two starts in fine style and arrives here in excellent heart, with experience of today's trip and conditions working in his favour; the main concern is whether 164 lb tests his resolve under a big weight.

Winless in his last five starts, with a pulled up among them, Mcgregors Charge is hard to fancy on our figures despite the step up to second last time out; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 12 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh.
