It's difficult to be confident about any of these but LADY MANGO looks the safest proposition. She's won four times this year and given her latest third over C&D off today's mark, she may not have finished winning yet. Chevise has been thereabouts of late without threatening to win and Dvinsky occasionally pops-up at this level. Baby Dottie went close at Brighton last time and a 5lb claimer helps her cause and there may be more to come from Southwell runner-up Tunnager Grove.
