LIME DROP won five times last season and was a close fourth in a higher grade off this mark on her final start. She should figure in this if fully wound-up but Malaita is proving hard to catch right. Herewegohoney is respected, however, having beaten La Renommee and Maid On The Moon when completing a double at Chepstow in April and February’s Huntingdon winner Hillfinch will enjoy any give in the ground. Getaweapon may be best of the rest.
