Nonrunner
Unify was odds-on in the finale at Market Rasen yesterday and would have to be considered a doubtful runner if taking up that option. INNOCENT GIRL (NAP) may be a better bet in any case given she's run well over hurdles since unseating her rider when travelling well in pursuit of a hat-trick at Huntingdon. Killabraher Cross has finished tailed off in a couple of runs at Plumpton since returning from a break while Fine Resolve has only been placed once in eight tries over fences. Withy Mills has only won once since landing this in 2014 and is still 11lb higher.
