None of these inspire much confidence with only a tentative vote going to top weight BALLYDAGUE LADY. Her second at Catterick last month in a higher grade handicap is the best piece of recent form on offer. Bennys Well has the past form to figure having won off a much higher mark at Sedgefield last year but is struggling at present while Agentleman's best recent effort was January's well-beaten second to Sir Note, who runs in the previous race. Kayfton Pete remains 5lb higher than his win at Huntingdon in October and seems to save his best for that venue.
