MYSTERY DRAMA doesn't also find much for pressure but she may have found the ground too tacky when second at Leicester last month and should find this surface more to her liking. Alan King's mare is preferred to top weight Pass The Time, though she should do better back over 2m. Be My Witness wasn't disgraced on her handicap debut at Taunton and should make the frame again while Cloudante has her sights lowered and is likely to do better than at Wetherby on her reappearance as she holds Roja Dove on their run together at Cheltenham in the spring.
