RATOUTE YUTTY won here in March and was hampered when trying to follow up off this mark at Southwell. She has already run seven times this year but is more reliable nowadays. Kentford Mallard is always liable to pop up in one of these but Achy Breaky Heart is having a first run since October. Czech Her Out has a similar absence to overcome but Dancing Dani may still have a bit of scope in handicaps and Tanora was second at Sedgefield six weeks ago, though the winner has been beaten twice since.
