Winning form is in short supply but LORD MURPHY scored at Wolverhampton last month. He was beaten by the narrowest of margins on his latest start and should go close again. Home Again has been thereabouts at Chelmsford of late and Caledonian Gold was placed at Southwell last time though like most of these, both are still searching for their first win. Mulled Wine just missed out at Kempton in February having slipped down the weights and Caribbean Spring continues to tumble down the weights.
