Newyearsresolution represents last year's winning yard and beat Conjola at Newcastle last time but the latter re-opposes on much better terms. Rinnagree Rosie was still in contention when falling a couple of hurdles from home at Hexham last May and Dun To Perfection easily beat Bollin Fiona at the same meeting. Dotties Dilema has every chance on her recent second at Musselburgh but BALLYVOQUE's fourth at Catterick looks stronger form and George Charlton's charge gets the nod to come good again having won over these hurdles in November.
