3:35 Newbury Going Soft / Distance - 2m 7f

Pool Value: £613.59

A stamina test on soft or heavy ground should see Apple Away (second choice) in her element but much the same could have been said in November last time out when she started 13-8 favourite at Market Rasen but was beaten 16l into second. Fantastic Lady finished a good deal further back that day but was making her reappearance and ran much better next time. Don't Rightly Know throws her hat in the ring following the runaway win on her chase debut but this race may prove slightly ambitious and preference is for LADY BALKO who has herself been transformed with her switch to chasing this season and brings better form.[Richard Austen]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
1	Fantastic Lady N De Boinville / N J Henderson	10yrs / 11st 8lb P61-42 Spotlight	159	4/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Fantastic Lady Experienced 10yo chaser who won a Grade 2 at Sandown (2m6f, good) last April and she was second and sixth in last two editions of the Topham on soft ground at Aintree in April; creditable second in Listed event 17 days ago; has won over 3m but it's her peak efforts over slightly shorter than this on which she sets the standard.
2	Apple Away D R Fox / Miss Lucinda V Russell	8yrs / 11st 6lb 351-42 Spotlight	154	3/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Apple Away Ended last term winning a Listed event at Perth (3m, soft) in April, her best form over fences; slightly underwhelming in her two runs this season but a slog today will suit and she has to be in serious calculations.
3	Don't Rightly Know H Cobden / P Gundry	10yrs / 11st 2lb 3222-1 Spotlight	146	9/4	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Don't Rightly Know Lightly raced 10yo who was reliable last season in her first campaign hurdling, arguably best effort when making most over 3m on soft in handicap here; winning by 10l from the front on chase/seasonal debut in handicap at Exeter (3m, good to soft) four weeks ago was a big advance but she has a fair bit to find against three of today's rivals.
4	Lady Balko Jack Tudor / D Pipe	6yrs / 11st 2lb 2-5111 Spotlight	154	9/4	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Lady Balko Switched to fences this season and has been a rising force, twice making all in handicaps at Plumpton (3m2f) before always prominent to take one at Hereford (3m1f); all three were in December on good to soft but she had three wins on soft at lower levels over hurdles; after that latest performance she is in serious contention in this race too.
5	Smiling Getaway Sam Twiston-Davies / N A Twiston-Davies	8yrs / 11st 2lb 130-15 Spotlight	140	16/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Smiling Getaway Won chase/seasonal debut in a handicap at Ffos Las (2m5f, good to soft; acts on soft) in October; that form is well short of what is required today, however, and she was well beaten in a mares' novice Listed race at Warwick five weeks ago; this move up in trip needs to prompt big improvement.
