The Wee Midget is a bit of an enigma but could figure in this if Richard Johnson can get him to take an interest. It would be no surprise to see Ladyvie prominent on her return from a lay-off but I Can Run Can You turned in another desperate performance over fences at Ffos Las last time and has been equally poor over hurdles lately. ORION EXPRESS will benefit from Lucy Gardner's claim and wasn't beaten far over course and distance last time. The veteran is quite capable of defying top weight in this company. Paupers Present may be capable of better and course and distance winner Western Kate may be best of the rest.
