Osteopathic Remedy was scheduled to run here yesterday while Common Touch finished behind runner-up White Frost at Leicester 11 days ago, though there may not be much to choose between the pair today. Dunno may not have shown much so far since joining Dandy Nicholls but is tumbling down the weights and well drawn here for a front-runner while the former Nicholls inmate Askaud isn't without a chance, though connections seem undecided about her best trip. Both of SAM NOMBULIST's wins have come over 7f on soft ground and, wearing a hood for the first time and with Graham Lee in the saddle, Richard Whitaker's four-year-old could be the one today though any of these are capable of winning a wide-open handicap if at the top of their game.
