A very ordinary affair which won't take much winning. Another Flutter has mainly been confined to fences since arriving from Ireland but must have every chance reverting to the smaller obstacles. Lilac Belle has won a couple of sellers but Oriental Cat and Peqeno Diablo are probably best watched returning from lengths absences. KATNAPPING has shown promise on a couple of occasions and may still have a bit of scope. She gets the nod with Sam Waley-Cohen taking off 5lb, though not with any great confidence.
