Formscan - Smart bumper performer GOLDEN ACE has gone to another level over timber this season, backing up a couple of impressive Taunton triumphs with victory in the Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle at the Festival here. Given five weeks to recover from those exertions, and with the runner-up and fourth both franking the form with Grade 1 wins subsequently, she is extremely hard to oppose. Lightening Mahler won readily on her first start post-wind surgery at Huntingdon and could put up most resistance, while Wyenot also deserves a mention after bouncing back to form at Kempton.
