Aimee De Sivola was second to an in-form rival last time at Hereford and is on a decent mark at present but LADY KK has finished second twice over fences here this season and can get back to winning ways. Just A Dime also has claims if forgiven a poor run last time at Chepstow while Farmer's Gamble has been knocking on the door again lately. Broadway Boy stayed on well to score at Aintree in December and has scope for further improvement but the handicapper has taken no chances.
