Lets Hope So, Goldray and Lapalala were second, third and fourth behind Late Night Lily at Huntingdon last month and Emma Lavelle's six-year-old can come out on top again. Hannah Just Hannah kept on for pressure when third at Chepstow and is also interesting but the nicely-bred MISS CRICK (NAP) may be about to start realising some of her potential after an improved third at Doncaster behind a subsequent Listed winner. Unlucky Taunton second Fit The Brief looks best of the rest.
