Deja Bougg was third at Worcester in August but then only fourth at Warwick in September when favourite. Tullow Tonic carries a penalty for winning a lesser race at Towcester last week while Sweetlittlekitty was a 33/1 chance when landing a novice hurdle at Worcester in June and hasn't been seen since. CLEMENCY (NAP) hasn't been disgraced in a couple of runs since her summer holiday, suffering interference when challenging in the second of those. She should be cherry-ripe now and Ned Curtis' claim is in her favour. Pulling Power is preferred to Miss Tongabezi of the others.
