Fly Home Harry defied a penalty to score here in December but couldn't manage it a second time when runner-up to Wolf Sword back at this track. Degooch has gone close in both starts in bumpers though the form of his latest second at Market Rasen hasn't worked out. Bryden Boy found only one too good on his debut at Wetherby and should improve for that, but TARA MAC was only beaten a head on her introduction at Kelso and she gets the tentative vote to come out best in an open contest. Aregra is related to multiple winners in France and could prove best of the newcomers.
