Kodafine has won here and went close at Chester last week. She'll figure with a similar effort but is not the most reliable. Meebo has rattled up a string of seconds, all at Southwell, while Mimi Luke showed a bit more at Yarmouth for her slide down the weights and could bounce back at any time. Majestic Song has gone backwards since last year's debut third at Kempton but LEAD A MERRY DANCE won't have to find much improvement on her handicap bow to get involved and gets a speculative vote.
