In a fiercely competitive novices handicap such as this it often pays to side with less exposed types so the vote goes to recent Limerick winner AFOREMENTIONED who made a nice impression in what was only his third start. Warnaq impressed last time out and can go well again despite a 10lb rise given she won with plenty more than the official margin in hand. Also high on the shortlist is Try Again who ran well last time and he looks the sort to excel in such contests.
