The heavy ground will hold no fears for DUN SEE DEE, who has already won on similar going in a point-to-point and a bumper. Placed twice over C&D last season and also third at Leicester in January, Charlie Mann's mare can shrug off an absence to get off the mark today. Kaffie was third on her hurdling debut at Hereford last month but her bumper form was below that of Young Victoria, who is another that will handle the easy surface. The Tatkin is a half-sister to several winners and was fourth over 3m here in April - she looks the pick of the remainder.
