C I Gillies
Miss Lucinda V Russell
Placed in a chase from eight starts. Pulled up 4 out when 7-2fav at Hexham over 3m 1f (heavy) in a chase won by Tipsy Dara last month on his latest outing.
Bocamix has been in decent form over hurdles this year, winning two of his five starts, and makes plenty of appeal now sent chasing, but KARINGA QUEEN is preferred representing a Gordon Elliott stable who do particularly well with their runners here. The Karinga Bay mare emerged with plenty of credit when fifth in a 2m7f chase on her debut for this yard at Downpatrick last Friday and she is entitled to strip fitter for that first run in over three months. Rawaaj isn't the most consistent but would have a chance if finding top gear.
