DOUBLE MEAD has been in excellent form between the flags lately and looks likely to give the accomplished Alex Dunn another winner as he's already won twice over fences under Rules. Miss Chatterbox also arrives off the back of a couple of recent point-to-point victories and looks the danger ahead of the inconsistent Discussion Forum. The Wifes Pet was only beaten a neck at Musselburgh in February and is preferred to Melua Maid of the others.
