None of these are convincing. Broomfield Gale could stake a claim but equally, she has refused and run out in two of her last three starts. Therefore, in the hope that a newly applied tongue-tie rekindles a spark, the tentative vote goes to REMEMBER MOI. Of the others, Kankin ran disappointingly at Southwell, while Carapaz could fare better than at Huntingdon.[Mark Rowntree]

Both wins came over fences and while there was some encouragement to be drawn from a fair fourth back over hurdles at Fontwell (2m6f, good) in March, he reportedly stopped quickly when pulling up at Southwell (3m; 8-1) 23 days ago; easing mark isn't quite enough to tempt.
Former pointer; shaped okay when fifth in a 2m novice here (beaten almost 20l) on penultimate start, but disappointing in a newly applied tongue-tie at Hereford (2m4f) subsequently; that equipment is removed as he tackles further still on handicap debut.
Placed in a Worcester bumper last summer; made a respectable start over hurdles when runner-up to A Perfect Day at Wincanton (2m6f novice; 22-1) last November; less productive since, weakening to finish last of seven on handicap debut at Taunton (3m) latest; 3lb lower with a tongue-tie applied.
Seeking her first win (0-17 rules) and has failed to complete in her last three, refusing to race at Taunton, pulling-up at Wincanton and running out when in contention post wind surgery at Newton Abbot (2m6f, heavy) latterly; a contender in a race of this nature granted a clear round.
Spent a fair chunk of her time in Irish points without winning (0-11) and has failed to trouble the judge since reverting to rules for Matt Sheppard (0-2); sits 3lb lower than when a never-nearer sixth of 15 at Chepstow (3m) 17 days ago.
Ten-race maiden; back over hurdles when returning from a 543-day absence at Huntingdon (3m1f, good; fourth of nine, beaten 39l) recently; is entitled to strip fitter for that comeback run and, even from 3lb out of the handicap, this represents a realistic next objective.
