Nonrunner
Not many of these arrive in good form but MAIZY MISSILE was runner-up at Chepstow in September on fast ground and may well be good enough on her return. Nouailhas has the more recent form when second at Plumpton last time and could also go well. Marky Bob has run poorly since winning at Fakenham in February while Passing Fiesta and Carobello failed to figure on their latest starts having both finished runner-up before that at Taunton and Ludlow respectively. Triggywinkle was still beaten a long way when second in a hunters’ chase and the rest are even harder to fancy.
