Haatefina got outpaced over 2m at Fakenham last time but has yet to really prove she stays much further. Whatdoesthefoxsay's defeat of Molly's A Diva at Worcester in October was good form but she's still 9lb higher while Southwell winner Bon Chic makes her handicap debut off a high enough mark and was beaten by Haatefina off level weights in December. Western Diva has her first run since finishing second over track and trip in June of last year but could be worth following now that the ground is drying out. OGARITMO had been disappointing prior to winning at Fakenham but stayed on strongly that day suggesting she'll be even better over this longer trip. She's preferred to Huntingdon maiden winner Altesse De Guye.
