Nonrunner
Royal Native was due to run yesterday at Exeter so could be a doubtful runner but Tarraco goes on the short-list after going very close off this mark last time at Fontwell. He's preferred to Days Ahead, who hasn't really threatened since joining Richenda Ford, and the returning Mackeys Forge and I'm In Charge. TEA CADDY can go one better than when second at Taunton last month. She's only a pound higher and did win off a higher mark at Fakenham in 2013.
