JOANNA I'M FINE is 4lb out of the handicap but Alan Doyle's claim takes care of that and she ran her best race to date at Ayr last month. Kiss My Face had shown little before landing a Hereford handicap and wouldn't need to do much more from 4lb higher. Arnica is still a maiden but has shown ability over track and trip though hasn't been seen for over a year. That's Your Lottie is 0-21 and has never been this far but Paddy The Panda ran his best race when tackling 3m2f at Kelso though that was on fast ground.
