It's not easy to get excited about many of these. Capard King did show promise at Market Rasen in November but has gone backwards since. Bouggietopieces was pulled up here off this mark last time after winning at Towcester while Jazz Man hasn't run since July. Alberto's Dream won over course and distance in November but was the tailed off when favourite at Exeter. PATTARA might be improving so earns a very tentative vote as she wasn't beaten far at Taunton last month when given plenty to do.
