SO IS SHE went close at Wolverhampton last time in an even lower grade than this but at least looks likely to run her race and she gets the token vote. Bull Five ran a shocker last time but has slipped down the weights and could figure if in the mood, while Karate scored over a mile here in December and has claims on that form. Oliver's Gold has a recent run over hurdles under his belt and his placed efforts on the Flat last year give him a chance and Ermyntrude is another who could be involved if repeating her good run at Epsom last July.
