GOLD BONNE RAINE is one-paced but did meet interference when third last time at Taunton so gets another chance. Flobury was placed twice here in December so also enters calculations while Llantara and Timeforwest are worth a market check making their handicap debuts in modest company. Margaret's Rose meets more appeal than Tara's Rainbow but Agent Louise would need to improve on this season’s efforts to figure, though she is the only of these with a course victory to her name.
