Alohamora has won three of her last four and Philip Armson takes off 7lb but she will still be giving 16lb to MOLLY CAREW, who somehow manages to race off a 5lb lower mark than when successful in this 12 months ago despite winning last time at Taunton. Reine Fee finished ahead of Une De La Seniere at Leicester in February but is racing from out of the handicap and Maid O'Malley makes more appeal as she was in the process of running a cracking race in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month when falling having earlier beaten Another Theatre at Carlisle. Fortunes Melody is preferred to Midnightreferendum and Vienna Court of the others.
