Can't Remember returned to winning ways at Fontwell on her latest start but a 10lb rise in the weights looks to have spoilt her chances of following up. Twin Bud produced a better effort when second to Balustrade last month and has place claims once again, but KAITUNA is preferred. She won a novice hurdle over C&D back in November and may have found the drop back in trip against her last time. Oliver Sherwood's mare has scope for further progress and gets the vote on her handicap debut. Gilt Free and Here's The Key make most appeal of the remainder.
