ORBITAL ORCHID looks the most consistent of these. She was pulled-up over hurdles recently, but had gone close in a couple of earlier starts over 2m on fast ground at Chepstow, and Nick Williams' mare gets the vote. Something went badly wrong with Annelko last time when tailed off at Yarmouth but he has claims on his previous four length win at Yarmouth, while No Time For Tears and Lucky Diva were both below par on their latest starts having won at Nottingham and Warwick respectively before that.
