Waldorf Salad and Alternatif were pulled up last time but both are eased in grade today and it would be no surprise to see them bounce back. The latter is preferred of that pair and he is only 2lb higher than when successful at Fontwell in December. STREETS OF PROMISE (NAP) was on the heels of the leader when tipping up at Warwick last time. He still hadn't been asked a serious question and, though 6lb higher, could gain compensation having been on an upward curve previously. Kilmurvy can be a bit hot-or-miss while Vice Et Vertu has been struggling this term.
Alternatif (FR) 25-1 (11-4) Towards rear, not fluent 3rd, mid-division after 12th, struggling 4 out, well beaten when jumped left next, pulled up before 2 out, at Cheltenham 3m 2f hcp (2) gd in Mar.
Waldorf Salad 66-1 (11-6) Soon in mid-division, struggling 18th, behind next, pulled up before 21st, at Cheltenham 4m lst (1) gs in Mar.
Vice Et Vertu (FR) 5-1 (11-9) Led, headed after 3 out, 3rd when blundered next, no chance with clear pair after, tailed off, 3rd of 6, 31l behind Bodega (11-7) at Stratford 2m 7f hcp (4) sft in Mar.
Streets Of Promise (IRE) 3-1fav (11-11) Led, went right 11th, headed approaching 16th, chased leader, 3 lengths down when fell 3 out, at Warwick 3m 5f hcp (3) sft in Mar.
Kilmurvy (IRE) 9-2 (11-1) Never fluent, mistake 6th, behind, plugged on before 2 out, never on terms, 5th of 9, 15 3/4l behind Saint Roque (11-8) at Taunton 2m 7f hcp (3) gs in Nov.
