KIMORA won this last year and led for a long way in a much better race at Cheltenham last month. She has 4lb more to carry this time around but should be up to the task of conceding weight to recent points winner Flying Gnu, who is hardly consistent. Alphamor was favourite at Bitterley last month but beaten when coming to grief. Jenna Pride is unlikely to be good enough and neither is Running In Heels.
