Gemma Gracey-Davison (5)
Miss Z C Davison
She has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 5f on ground varying from good to firm to soft, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 4l by Blue Hills when second of 8 at 12-1 on her latest outing in a chase over this course and distance (good to soft) earlier this month.
INDIAN DAUDAIE is becoming disappointing but he took a step in the right direction when runner-up over 2m7f at Worcester last month and providing the drop in trip does not catch him out, he could take all the beating today. Ruler Of All, a capable hurdler when trained in Ireland but yet to find top gear for Tim Vaughan, is an interesting contender on his chasing debut. Beside The Fire disappointed last time but the form of his previous win would give him a squeak.
