Jamie Snowden

She won again under a penalty and was 4th in a Listed and Grade 3 event but lost her way a bit in the mud. She had a good summer last season, and wasn't beaten far on a couple of occasions. She jumped well on her chasing debut, but was in need of that run, and she won pretty impressively last time out. Up 7lbs here and up to 2m4, she'll have to improve again and stay this trip, but she is the best horse in the race, so if she does then she shouldn’t be too far away.
