A recent win and the booking of David Bass augur well for the claims of WHAT'S FOR TEA and she should give another good account here off the bottom rung of the weights. Indeed, her last three runs have all delivered improvement of previous efforts in 2011 and she can follow up now. Homer Run looks the logical danger on the back of a couple of fair third places behind Den Maschine at Sandown and Black Cache at Exeter. He's yet to score under Rules but this is not a strong affair and his consistency should serve him well. It Wasn't Us is burdened with topweight despite failing to make the frame to date but has competed in contests won by some talented sorts and could well be dangerous on his handicap bow in this grade.
