Newgate Queen won at Doncaster in May last year but was tailed off on her recent reappearance. Moon Over Rio landed a seller at Beverley in August and has been well beaten in a couple of starts over hurdles this year. Dorry K has scored over timber since last competing on the Flat though has not won on the level since 2012. CASCADIA was way below par at Wolverhampton last time but was successful over course and distance in March and she gets a token vote to come good again in a poor handicap.
