Canoodle is a half-sister to a bumper winner and Hughie Morrison's runners in races like this are always worth a second look. Only For Love and Pampanini both represent powerful yards and shouldn't be short of pace. Lastbutnotleast looks more of a stayer as she's already won a point-to-point but Westerbee won at Lingfield before getting outclassed at Ascot and Poisoned Berry kept on for pressure over 1m4f on her debut at Wetherby. MY COUSIN RACHEL is a full sister to a winning hurdler/chaser who also showed up well in bumpers. She ran well for a long way on her debut at Warwick and wasn't unduly punished – that experience will stand her in good stead today.
