Dan Skelton sent out last year’s winner and the versatile MOLLY OLLYS WISHES (NAP) can complete the double for the yard. She gave 10lb and a beating to Emmpressive Lady over 3m at Kempton last season and began the current campaign with a victory at Wetherby ahead of three subsequent winners. The company was too hot and the going too quick here next time. My Sister Sarah also won in Listed company at Kempton in November while Western Victory has won twice in Ireland this season but is having a first run for new connections. Anythingforlove needs the mud and has a bit to find at the weights with some of these.
