There is little in the way of winning form at this lowly level but LORD MURPHY has been left on the same mark as when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and Rosa Ryan takes 5lb off his back today. Cookie Ring won at Chelmsford in December and has finished second here subsequently while Jai Hanuman is the least exposed having failed to land a gamble when only fourth at Wolverhampton last time. Play With Me is another with some scope for improvement while Mimic's Memory and Mr Potter are usually in the mix at this level.
