Nonrunner
FAMOUSANDFEARLESS has much the best recent form. He finished third at Uttoxeter on his handicap bow and first start since November and can carry top weight to victory in this. Direct Flo also showed signs of a resurgence on his first start of the year when runner-up over track and trip but the remainder are struggling for form. Moon Melody won a division of this off a lower mark last year and Bollin Line managed a second at Market Rasen last month in between a couple of woeful efforts. A P McCoy is back on board Keen Eye but the latter has shown little so far.
