Gimme Five has struggled to follow up his debut win at Uttoxeter under a penalty and it will be interesting to see how Cartmel scorer Vosne Romanee copes with the extra here. The latter had Magic Magnolia behind at Newton Abbot last month but the filly improved on that next time. ARISTOCRACY makes his hurdling debut but has been in good form on the Flat and appeals as the type to do well over timber. He gets the nod as he makes more appeal than recent Polytrack winner Fennann.
